SSWShiraz | Waitrose | Waitrose's 2008 Barossa Reserve Shiraz, St Hallett, Barossa Valley, South Australia, Red Wine, Alc.14.5%. Closed with a screwcap. This fourteen and half percenter has all the right parts, but as yet - it's not ready to drink ! It's a well known fact that if a wine is closed with a screwcap it slows down the wine's evolution. A real plus for early easy drinkers and aromatic whites, but not for a wine that requires at least five years to meld together. Leave it on the shelf If it's for this Saturday's dinner party.
