Iron always reminds me of a Syrah from Cornas: firm, a little gruff in a sense, but not without personality, intensity or ageing potential. Sourced from a one-hectare block in Malmesbury, it’s a compact, focused wine with fynbos, black olive and damson aromas and flavours, some blood and raw meat and very well-integrated 50% new oak. Needs lots of time in bottle.
