Chapel Hill Abacus Shiraz els-vinyerons-vins-naturals The palate is vibrantThis is a great Shiraz for the budget conscious. It's dense and generous get your claws into kinda stuff. Handfuls of plums and chocolate feature large. Peppered steak and burnt ends make a neat cameo with a blackberry shine on close. There is a lot of chew factor on the finish too which tosses in some Christmas cake spice for good measure. Camping and barbecues are sorted.
