Thorn Clarke Shiraz W Randall 06

$60.75 750 MLS

The flagship ‘William Randell’ Shiraz is a no-compromise, traditionally-style ‘Best of the Barossa’ wine. The 2006 comes from one of the great Barossa vintages, and the combination of an outstanding harvest and highest quality aspiration has given a most special wine indeed, the best release under this label to date, according to winemaker Derek Fitzgerald. With 15.0% alc, it is a massive wine in richness, ripeness, concentration and power. The fruit is explosive with blackberry, cassis, coffee and liquorice characters, and 22 months barrel maturation, 50% American and 50% French, all new, has provided lifted vanilla and spice notes. A touch of volatility is reminiscent of ‘Grange’! This is an ‘out-there’ wine, and will match the most flavoursome red meat dishes. The wine deserves plenty of thought and discussion, as a meditation wine. It will live for two decades easily. RC Feb 10
