Thornhill Shiraz 2004

The Thornhill Shiraz 2004 offers a perfume nose of black fruits, violets, jasmine and flowers. This vintage is a style-change; a new and very different style of Shiraz than before - more Côte-Rôtie in style. A style I prefer for its elegance. This is a wine to be enjoyed both in summer and winter.

Venison with mushrooms or berry jus; steak with pepper sauce; Roquefort tartlets and salad with Roquefort or other strong cheese and walnuts.
