Strikes me when I taste this (second time around now, first was in January for BRWB) that this is a Shiraz made like a Pinot, which also strikes me as a good thing. This is my pick of the 2007 Picardy red releases.Red fruit dominant (cherry and raspberry) with a shake of pepper and meaty complexity - vanilla oak present and correct, but well in the background. It’s medium bodied, nutty and savoury with a pleasing sense of dryness and freshness. Exemplary balance and a fair old lump of finesse…and something of a bargain too.
