The 2013 Claire Reserve Shiraz is the current, 225-case release. Aged in all-new French oak for a year, then transferred into four- and five-year-old barrels for another two years, it's full-bodied, supple and creamy in texture, with heaps of smoky, savory complexity set against a backdrop of ripe blackberries and plums. An intense, mouthwatering finish lined with silky tannins wraps up this impressive package.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 Claire Reserve Shiraz opens up to a gorgeous nose of warm blackberries and mulberries with nuance of Chinese five spice, sandalwood, dried lavender and dusty earth. Medium to full-bodied with tons of mouth-filling black fruit and exotic spice flavors, it has a firm backbone of refreshing acid and medium to firm, rounded tannins. It finishes with great length. Drink it now to 2020+. No known USA importer.

Concentrated branbles and fresh strawberries. Lovely creamy oak. Jammy and rich, balanced. Long, savoury finish.
