Who: Chambo
What: 2008 John Denton Vineyard DM Shiraz, Yarra Valley
Purchased: Blackhearts and Sparrows, $40
Food: deli foods - cheeses, dips, ham, salami etc (yep, left over from last night)
Comments: So, a second new style YV shiraz, sort of. I am assuming new style given the winemakers are the guys behind Allies and Garagiste and part of the South Pack. Poor website doesnt help! Same savoury nose with dark fruits. Mouth is filling but longer - doesnt finish so linear...fullness continues. Perhaps the most interesting thing was a quite distinct licorice flavour, along with the dark fruits. Quite happy with it. Perhaps a touch more enjoyable than the Luke Lambert but I suspect more interesting changes ahead for that one.
