Jul 4th, 2020A big ripe Shiraz blend from Drew Noon MW. Notes of prune and oaky scents but the latter just enough to match the ripe fruit. Also McBarens Plum Cake Pipe tobacco. Rich and intense on the palate covering the 15.5% ABV. A winter wine which you can’t help but love - brilliant with slow cooked lamb shanks. 38% Grenache 50% Shiraz 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Graciano.

Jun 16th, 2019Aromas of cherry leather and dried fruit followed by a full bodied palate showing sweet ripe fruit. Looking back through my written notes I always seem to drink this hugely flavoursome Wine (15.5% Alcohol) on the coldest night of the year! Usually a Grenache dominant blend but in 2008 the blend from Drew Noon MW was 50% Shiraz; 38% Grenache; 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Graciano. As an experiment half the bottles had a cork; the other half a screw cap. Noon concluded some years later that the screw cap would go through to 2025 whereas the cork through to 2020.
