Cerro Syrah, Chapa Valley, 2012

We are promised 'mint-tinged cherry fruit with notes of toasty oak'.
There is a strange, vaguely herby edge but it's totally dominated by its acidity. Way lighter than any other syrah/shiraz I've tried. The fruit is pretty sour, frankly: highly acidic and very dry.

Thus M&S 100% recent record comes to an end: a poor use of £8.50. I've never heard of the Chapa Valley and perhaps this is the reason why.
