Tasting notes
I tasted this wine as part of a vertical tasting and masterclass I headed at our Matter of Taste event in Zurich in early 2019. Because we did not have a review in our database of the 2010 Syrah (the wine was not given the name "Per Sempre" back then), I decided to add it. This is a beautifully fleshed-out and mature expression of Syrah with dark, tarry notes that cede to dried cherry, spice and savory leather. The wine is traveling nicely along its evolutionary tract, and it still has the fiber and freshness to endure more bottle age.

Mocha, espresso, plums, blackberries and savory herbs emerge from Tua Rita's 2010 Syrah. Even with all of its power and intensity, the 2010 never seems to fully come together in the glass, which has been my impression on all three occasions I have tasted it. Today, the 2010 is quite raw and shows less of the visceral thrill of the very best years. Perhaps those qualities will develop in bottle but historically this has been a very showy wine when young, so I have some reservations about that happening.
