The Homestead Barrel Aged Shiraz 2005 RED Australia

Big and juicy with waves of plump blackberry fruit underpinned by hints of spice smoke and liquorice. "Australia's best Shiraz comes from Victoria" (Decanter) ... better still: "an outstanding 5-star winery" (James Halliday) is behind this mighty offering - their wines normally sell around the #20 a bottle mark. Then there's the year - "2005 is the vintage of the century" says Aussie guru Huon Hooke.

Per bottle price from: £12.99
