Description
Bullnose takes its name from the early Morris Cowley car, known for its distinctive radiator and bull crest, which features on the label. Each parcel was destemmed, warm-fermented and underwent extended maceration on skins before pressing and a second malolactic fermentation. The separate wines were then matured in new and seasoned French oak barriques for 13 months.
"Initially brooding and smoky, this opens with vigorous swirling to reveal a beguiling nose of orchid and dried violet, white pepper and ground cinnamon against a backdrop of blueberry and marjoram. The palate is tightly coiled around a core of taut, sinewy tannins which creates a dynamic balance between its athletic structure, racy fruit and youthful austerity. The long, elegant and detailed finish is underpinned by fantastic acidity and there is no doubt that this mid-weight syrah will unfurl with time in bottle to reveal the classically-proportioned wine within." - 94 Points, Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review
