🏰news | features + short tasting note IN ENGLISH 【Le Macchiole Scrio 2017 is a rare and original 100% Syrah, a benchmark in Bolgheri, celebrated for its compelling meld of deep, velvety Mediterranean fruit with cool-climate aromatics, distinguishing it from other Syrahs globally.】 The 2017 vintage, despite being dry and droughty, yielded a wine of surprising freshness and elegance, with production reduced by 40% due to severe selection. It presents an opulent nose of plum cake, blueberry muffins, dark chocolate, mocha, and hot stones, beautifully balanced by fresh notes of thyme, violets, and cedar. On the palate, it's full-bodied with chewy, polished tannins, offering flavors of dried cherry, prune, black pepper, and vanilla, culminating in a long, decadent finish with a creamy, enduring texture. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH This rich and intense Syrah would be a fantastic match for Cantonese roasted goose (燒鵝), char siu (叉燒), or a slow-braised beef brisket with daikon (蘿蔔炆牛腩).
