A stunner of a Heathcote Shiraz in piccolo form from our kindly gifted De Bortoli wine advent calendar.

It’s fruit forward with a bold palate, long finish and subtle dryness. Very smashable 🍷

Initially not outstanding but once allowed to breathe very enjoyable. First wine from my 2014 cellar wines, will be the wine all others are compared against.

Wonderful nose of beef jerky. Fruit forward. Balanced acidity and soft tannins. Very little heat.
