Who: Chambo
What: 2009 Pyrette Shiraz, Heathcote
Purchased: Blackhearts and Sparrows a few weeks ago; $45 (I think)
Food: gnocchi with sundried tomato and meat ragu
Comments: Not really what I was expecting. Nice purpley colour but not opaque at all and bouquet likewise not big. For a Heathcote shiraz (even if a relatively low 13.5%) it was very tame - but not in a good ooh-they're-doing-the-refined-syrah-rhone-thing kind of way. Even the chocolate thing I love in Heathcote shiraz only turned up after a long wait. A long way from the worst thing I've drunk but not $45 worth.
