Bicknell FC Syrah

The palate is dark, savoury, and beautifully coiled, opening with blackberry, mulberry, and dark plum before sliding into a cool‑climate core of black pepper, graphite, and smoked spice that feels unmistakably Bicknell in its restraint. Subtle notes of violet, olive tapenade, charcuterie, and crushed granite add depth, supported by understated, seamlessly integrated oak. The mid‑palate is silky yet taut, carrying both fruit purity and savoury detail. The finish is long, mineral, and pepper‑laced, leaving impressions of dark berry skin, spice, and cool‑climate earth—Syrah rendered with precision and finesse in a beautifully balanced 2023 expression.
