Nothing I can say can really do this wine justice. It is creamy, rich and fruity. The overwhelming pepper that ruins most hunter Shiraz's can be found only as a slight background acid; there to compliment the lingering blackberry flavour that develops and goes on and on and on. Nothing beats a beautiful full bodied wine like this.
You can drink now and be blown away with it, or cellar it nicely for at least 10 years. To me this means buy a case and try one every two years :)
Food: I had this with one of my awful (I'm no cook) spag bolls and left the food to just drink the wine. It would obviously be a perfect accompaniment to most meats, but next time I'm going to have it with the tempura veggies & soy sauce from Mongers fish shop.
It is quite expensive so for me it is a wine for special occasions, and not drinking every day. If you buy for investment or this is your normal wine price range, I can't recommend it highly enough. Much nicer than a grange in my humble opinion.
