Dense and concentrated, this Shiraz from the Hunter Valley's Parched Crow walks through the door with arms wide open ready to give an embrace.
Rich mulberries and plums rush early yet maintain the Hunter Valley medium-bodied mojo. Dried herbs and charcoal add savoury interest. Cherry vodka sneaks in adding a neat touch. Softly spiced, pan juices flex some meatiness. At six years of age, this is a satisfying drink for steak night or just kicking back by the fire pit. Time has been its friend, that's for sure. I'd happily have a glass or two.
Drink to five years.
