The firm hand of high-grade Australian shiraz. A steak wine par excellence. Rich blackberry and smoky oak, a wealth of savoury/grainy tannin, shoots of fennel and blackberry jam. For all its plain, black fruit flavour, the wine's strong, grainy tannin holds a commanding position in the wine, and should both a) see it team beautifully with char-grilled protein, and b) help ensure its longevity in the cellar
