Clarendon, Clarendon Hills, Astralis, Syrah 2010 Rhone Blanc Piero Incisa della Rocchetta100 points Wine Advocate Deep garnet purple in color, the 2010 Astralis is still quite primary eliciting aromas of black plums, blueberry compote and blackcurrant liqueur with a savory and baking spice undercurrent plus a fragrant whiff of violets. Very structured, fine and complex in the medium to full bodied mouth, this wine is revealing much more than when I first tasted it a year ago and is now showing layer upon layer of black fruit preserves,
