”The only thing that this wine will please more than the crowd are the wallets they carry. This is always a deservedly popular Clare Shiraz. An intense vibrant crimson hue, this is all chocolate and blackberries with plums, root vegetables, cloves, bay leaves, soy and licorice. A touch of cassis on the finish ties it together. This is a savoury style with a supple texture, sleek tannins, good balance, fine acidity and real length. There is good intensity throughout and it will prove why it is so popular, over the next eight to ten years. Cracking value.”
