The 2012 Syrah Bionic Frog was matured for 18 months in around 20% new oak. In its peak drinking window, it retains generous fruit while revealing compelling tertiary notes from its time in bottle. It has open-knit scents of blackcurrant and briar berries plus nuances of curry powder, olive tapenade, licorice and dried flowers. The full-bodied palate offers complex layers of savory fruit framed by velvety tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity, and it has a long, savory finish. 483 cases were made.
