This whisked me away last year and here we go again. Stepping it up a little more, what a fabulous drink this is!
There is density that goes deep with this Shiraz yet there is a classy edge that I adore. Black fruits and blueberries, black plums, handfuls of licorice bullets and ribbons of soft spices, this reaches far and drags you along. Some cedar, nutmeg, a flirtatious tomato bush thing and a flash of clove add further savoury appeal. Mocha builds momentum moving to a drying and puckering finish. It feels cool and charming yet wants to stay a while for that D&M. Go here.
Drink to ten years.
