Bright purple outer rim falling into a center of darkness. The nose has a savoury tone, dried meats with lashing of forest fruits. A firmly structured Shiraz, built for the next 6-10 years. Another few years will see the tannin soften and pleasure rise. A$30/bottle

Babo Roso L'Isolano 2007 - Sicily, Italy
Cherry red with violet moving to the center. The nose is leathery, with dried herb and plum. The palate has some clove spice, game meats and tight acid on the finish. An early drinking style and perhaps this 2007 should have been consumed in previous years. Drying out a touch now but would have been enjoyable in the younger years. A$18/bottle

Cat Amongst The Pigeons Cat Walk Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 - Barossa Valley, Australia
Dark purple to the core. The nose shows cedar, liquorice and blueberry jam. The welcoming aromas move into a soft edged Cabernet with ripeness and plump fruit. A very easy to drink style with some added richness and body. A$14.99
