Huon Hooke
Deep, youthful purple/red colour, with a clean and appealing cassis and raspberry aroma, a pristine and beautifully-moulded wine with elegance and well-trimmed grip at the finish. A stylish lighter-weighted shiraz.

V&A Lane shiraz seems to be on cruise control these days. It doesn't need to overtake or slow down, even if the handbrake has been hit on the very modest alcohol. This a wine of finesse. Certainly flavoursome, with its puff of perfume and spicy red and black plums infused with Pontefrac licorice. It's lighter framed in a Coonawarra context, but it has shape. A very good V&A Lane Shiraz. Drink to 2033.
