Sometimes your food just calls out for plush fruit. I ordered Szechuan Cumin Lamb take out, and initially poured a glass of my Gattinara from last night. Huge mistake. The dish made the wine taste like pungent fermented armpit juice. So I opened this. Bingo! Rich, pure dark berry fruit. A touch of graphite. Absolutely pillow-like texture. Beautifully pure and ripe in the mouth, but with a touch of stoniness in the finish and decent acids. Perfect foil to the deep pungency of the lamb.

Solid juice, classic Shiraz flavours and good depth and complexity for the price point. Midweek banker for sure.

Bright raspberry jam. Smooth with a good weight on the tongue
