A solid expression of syrah, this rich and robust red wine takes its cue from its heavyweight name, The Anvil. Loads of peppery, cocoa and coffee notes obscure the core of ripe dark fruit that’s lurking underneath, while the wash of acrid espresso roast on the finish likewise detracts from the enjoyment factor. Sturdy and smooth, but needs food. Drink now. (87/100)
