2009 Xanadu Shiraz
Now we’re getting serious with this wine. It’s been made with some cellaring in mind. This nose is all savoury fruit with a liberal dose of spices. On the palate the seamless integration of quality French oak and the deeply intense fruit is so perfect. The slightly sinewy tannin and grainy oak will gradually sit back comfortably as it matures. 95/100
