2004 Yarra Yering, Dry Red No. 2, Yarra Valley, Australia

The price of the 75cl bottle, reduced from £94 previously, includes a 10% discount. This offer is valid until midnight on 31st March and does not apply to BBX listings.

The 2004 Dry Red Wine No. 2 (95% Shiraz and 5% Marsanne and Viognier), while also amazing, is more closed, tannic, and harder to fully penetrate than the Shiraz. With aeration, the bouquet reveals notions of exotic Asian spices intermixed with flowers, blackberries, and cassis. In the mouth, the wine struts its stuff with a full-bodied, layered, broad, flavorful, concentrated style and moderately high tannin in the finish. This fabulous bambino needs to be cellared for 2-4 years and drunk over the following two decades.
