The Astronomer Shiraz

Sometimes, the simplest wines are right under our nose, IYKWIM. Australian Shiraz is consistently good but in the hands of a really good producer like De Bortoli, the relatively inexpensive stuff can really shine. This is stuffed full of smooth, juicy black plum fruits with a touch of mint. A fair whack of alcohol too, just so you know. No ball games after drinking this. Lovely without food, even better with it. Spag bol a winner.
