James Suckling: 99 Points
The purity of fruit on the nose is really something, with violets, lavender, sandalwood, light white pepper and white roses. Medium-bodied with totally integrated tannins that give a silky texture and a long finish. A pure syrah with lots of class for the vintage.
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
The Tua Rita 2022 Syrah Per Sempre draws its precious fruit from a half-hectare parcel planted in 1998 and another parcel planted in 2004. The advanced age of the vines adds to the complexity and depth of the wine with dark plum, sweet spice, toast and campfire ash. Per Sempre ages in oak for 18 months with 80% new wood and 20% second-use barrique. Syrah does a great job of balancing its fruit against the integrated oak. The wine makes a big impact on the senses thanks to its open-knit texture and generous concentration. On the palate, it is firm but also fresh, and both these qualities bode well for its aging potential.
Decanter: 96 Points
Per Sempre is one parcel of 18 rows planted in 1988, equating to 0.5ha and 3,000 bottles. Unlike the tava-vinified Keir Syrah, this spends about 17 months in new barriques. Less perfumed and vertical, Per Sempre is instead fleshy and generous, with more complexity and palate width. Intense crushed black berries are framed by wood, with some floral overtones and a streak of red fruit. Earthy and dusty tones are followed by mid-palate tension and sapidity, finishing on a slightly smoky note along with pressed violets. Class.
Vinous: 95 Points
The 2022 Syrah Per Sempre is packed with dark red cherry fruit, blood orange, cinnamon, spice, new leather and rose petal. Next to the 2023, the 2022 is dense and super-concentrated, but this is the wine where the differences between the two vintages are the least pronounced. Give this time.
