Langmeil Shiraz Valley Floor

Bold red but not too dry. Dark fruit, vanilla, strong tannins but not overpowering. Medium acidity. Opened up well in the glass so could do with plenty of air or decanting before drinking. Nice drink and good value for money.

20% new American oak Fresh cherry fruit, Quite chewy tannin, red cherry, good freshness. Touch of tawny port about this. Great fun and good value at £20. Good old school shiraz.
