  The label says "I'm a feckin nob who thinks Jeremy Clarkson is a bloody good bloke and Top Gear is the best show on tv and I love 17% shiraz, yah yah yah"
  
  The wine inside, however, is pure essence of Northern Rhone infused with some aussie oomf. Perfumed, elegant and restrained. Very surprising.
  
  Just ignore the twatty label. I was personally ashamed to be seen carrying it.

  Loving this. Dont be fooled by the novelty label, this little number is lush and plush, ripe fruits and savoury balance.

  Good stuff here.
  
  Silky, welcoming, ripe Barossa. Love the length. Well judged oak. Nice balance. Boy this is good.
  
  If you don't like this wine, the problem is you, not it.

  I love Command which in a good aged vintage is like a Grange at a fifth of the price. So I was curious what this cheaper and fun speedway thrills bottle had in store.
  
  Offering delicate perfumed body (by Aus Shiraz standards) it was lighter than I expected but also youthfully fruity.
  
  Theres a definite velvety Rhonesque purple regal softness.
  
  This is built for fun young drinking. Maybe it peaks in 2019 / 2020 but I wouldnt hide it away like a vintage car, I take it out and race it!

  Jammy dark fruits, spices, med acidity. A fruit bomb. Improves a bit after aeration.
