  In a great spot. Lost some of the jubey raspberry with black fruit, spice and menthol. Tannin is dry and dusty but well balanced making this a fresh, complex wine that is still smashable!

  Smooth, bold though I’ve been tasting cool and cold climate Shiraz this last week so it’s perhaps not all that punchy, it’s all relative

  Friday at the strand (Strand Cellars, Croydon): Jubey and sweet red berries; a little raspberry and plum, very pretty fruit notes with a tiny herbaceous underpin here as well that lends interest to the nose. In the mouth it's got juicy acidity and is very fruit forwrad; there is breadth and texture here without overt tannic grip, the alcohol warmth is non-intrusive. This falls very much in the eminently smashable space.

  Young and still fruit driven. Will benefit from a few years.
