First impressions of this wine is it is a full bodied shiraz with a lovely fruity flavour and a lovely rich aroma. This wine benefits more than most to being opened well in advance of drinking.

It is not overpowering at all for a shiraz. That said, it would go nicely with food such as lasagne, or any bolognese based dish. It is strong enough to hold its own, but subtle enough to allow the food to take centre stage.

This is another £8 reduced to £4 bottle, this one being one of the better examples. I would not be disappointed if I paid £6 for this bottle and at £4 it is a steal!
