Kanu Sweet Shiraz 2009

Stylishly crimson with youthful purple hues. Explosion of berry compote, a slight smokiness with underlying hints of cinnamon and cedar. The palate is confronted with an infusion of black cherries, bitter chocolate mousse and subtle cinnamon notes. Mouth-filling, with a soft tannin structure and a well balanced acidity ensures mid-palate weight and a long, lingering spicy finish.

Serve slightly chilled with a well aged Stilton, fragrant Red and Green curries, or as an alternative to Port when ending off a meal.
