Mayu Syrah - Elqui Valley 2008
This is a Chilean Syrah, somewhat in vogue with the Decanter crew. It's quite classy with notes of coffee, fig, vanilla, and black cherry. Not your typical sugar-bomb, this has some structure behind it as well as being quite an unusual wine. Not going mad over it but I'll give it a 7.5/10

I've recently got into Syrah from Elqui and Limari valleys - it can be really, really good and also really affordable. The only Mayu one I've tried is the one that Majestic sells, which is maybe a 'reserve' version of this one and costs a bit more (and yeah Decanter went mad for it).
