Brothers In Arms Side By Side Shiraz, Langhorne Creek 2012 $25

There’s a lovely core of fruit sweetness which adds to the charm and drinkability of this shiraz. Deeply coloured, it smells of vanilla, chocolate and berry jam, while the tannins are measured and alcohol is within the bounds of balance. Now to 15 years. 14.5 per cent alcohol. 93/100 – Huon’s Wine 360
