McLaren Vale Shiraz
Wine selection in in the London lounge was much better than the one in NYC. Appropriately named, this was pretty big, full throttle fruit, a touch of spice and sweetness. I would buy this as a “safety wine” - one to open when you want something decent and non-wine-lovers (or extended family) come over. I think this would actually age pretty well too.

Jun 14th, 2018This 2012 Shiraz is what you would expect, just in your face wine ! Nose full of black fruits, plums, cherries, sweet spices , light smoke turkey and vanilla, full body with smooth tannins and balancing acidity, very warm and fruity, long finish. My score 87, drink to 2018, chill in the summer ;-)

Jun 1st, 2015Lighter and mineralier than Shirazes from Barossa. More to my taste. Different terroir?
