We’re getting pretty good at finding exceptional Bordeaux at unbelievable pricing. Humble, I know. But sometimes it’s good to give yourself a little pat on the back. We think we earned it with this one. It’s Saint-Emilion Grand Cru composed of 85% merlot and 15% cab franc that’s hitting all the right notes. And we’re not the only ones that feel that way. A score of 4.2 on Vivino and 96 points with a gold medal from the Decanter World Wine Awards seem to back up our assessment. The Decanter review below goes into a bit more detail for those remaining unconvinced.

Here is one show-stopping, chart-topping shiraz that’s ready and roaring. While this is drinking perfectly now, do be warned - it’s quite the blockbuster! Handcrafted from the finest grapes of their Barossa vineyard, this does what we look for the most in these wines; rich, full-bodied and full of aromatic lift. Moroccan spices and dense black fruits such as blackberries and black cherry. All of course handled beautifully with high quality oak and supporting fine tannins. A blockbuster with a really great plot. 

Mega wine. Everything about this feels deep and brooding and mysterious. There is a salubriousness to the way it glides across the palate. Juicy plum and blackberry envelop the mouth. The freshness and density of fruit opens up a little revealing some nuance and play - little flecks of green nettle, some confected chocolate dust, a bit of liquorice and milk dud. Velvety dark black forest cake and ganache. A wonderful wine to let reveal itself in your glass (or in your decanter if you’re extra fancy). It will become more complex and interesting with each sip. Pair it with bold flavoured food, sure, but it certainly doesn’t require it. This icon will stand and deliver on its own no problem.
