Tasting notes
100% Syrah. Menthol, herbal, smoky, quite enticing nose. Dense, concentrated, plenty of ageing potential but not over-tannic, oak influence that emerges at the finish, but only subtly. (RH)

The 2006 Scrio (Syrah) is a rich, intense wine loaded with ripe dark fruit and plenty of toasted oak. With time in the glass the wine's signature floral, minty notes gradually emerge, yet this remains a vibrant, youthful Scrio in need of serious bottle age to integrate its oak.

Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024. Like many estates in Bolgheri, Le Macchiole has some beautiful wines that are coming into the market shortly. I visited the estate at the tail end of the 2006 harvest and already the early buzz in the air was palpable. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel. (212) 279-0799
