Vintage 2020
98 points Wine Advocate
It's hard to know what more one could ask from this wine. The fruit in the 2020 Astralis Syrah shows rippling prowess—albeit a little frisky at this early stage in its life—polish and intensity that reverberates in the mouth. It has energy and thunderous poise; the tannins, fruit and acid are all completely in balance. Immune to hyperbole. This is not the big wine that everyone thinks this is. The rollout of flavor in the mouth is measured; initial, mid-palate and resonating through the long finish. It is exotic, spicy and magic. Really, really delicious. 2020 yielded half the volume of vintages 2021 and 2022 (which were virtually on par with each other).

Lots of dried flowers and red peppercorns with blackberries and blueberries. So perfumed and pretty. Full-bodied and reserved with tight tannins and a focused palate. Extremely long and intense. Compacted structure. Drink from 2024.
