Description

Samurai Shiraz 2020 (75cl / 14%) is a bold, full?bodied red wine that leans into the power and spice of Australian or warm?climate Shiraz. Deep ruby in the glass, it opens with aromas of ripe blackberry, plum and dark cherry, layered with notes of black pepper, licorice, mocha and subtle oak?derived vanilla. On the palate it is rich and supple, with firm yet rounded tannins and a warm, alcoholic backbone that suits slow sipping rather than quaffing. The finish is long and slightly peppery, making it an excellent match for grilled meats, smoked barbecue or aged hard cheeses. For a complete ritual, pair it with a Dunhill White Spot Amber Root or Dunhill White Spot Cumberland, Dunhill White Spot Sidecar Case (10s) Zig?Zag Gawith Hoggarth Brown House, Edwin Jagger silvertip lather, Wilsons Snuff Red M., and a Davidoff Petit Corona or Nicaraguan puro, letting the wine?s dark fruit and spice mirror the tobacco?s richness and depth.
