Paisley Wines Boombox Shiraz 2019

 

As a wine writer, I have received various things over the years to enhance my tasting experience. Socks and t-shirts always help - it beats tasting in the nude. An Iron Maiden coffee mug was once supplied by a winemaker to taste his Shiraz. That was memorable! But Paisley Wines take things to a new level recommending this playlist curated by the winemaker - none other than DJ Deadly. Oh, and the wine is damn tasty too.

With soft and round edges, the mood is set with song #6, 'Throw your arm around me' by Hunters and Collectors. Plentiful dark fruits fill the mouth. There is a boldness yet it shows a playful side. Mulberries and shades of blueberries roll through, and as Prince suggests in the following song, it just wants your extra time and your kiss. Woodsy and baking spices ramp up the tempo on close. Long, spicy and very moreish, this is a clever and most enjoyable Shiraz for the money.

Drink to five years.
