Super market wines have come a long way in the last decade or so. This Shiraz is a typical Australian red, plum and cherry on the taste with a hint of cloves and herbs. I found it best to leave it as it improved by the next day. As part of a meal for 2 package I can’t fault it, would I buy it? No Spencer Burra Brook 2015 Australian Shiraz

Looking through the wine fridge we came across this unoaked Chardonnay from Plantagenet, Western Australia. Nine years on and it’s still excellent. There are aromas of vanilla and a taste of oak, yet this is an unoaked Chardonnay! It could be an age thing or maybe a combination of the pear and citrus, answers on a postcard.
This is delicious, rounded, soft, smooth with subtle butter hints. You could make an xxx film on this wine and get an Oscar for it. At about £14 a bottle and a little waiting it’s worth buying and waiting.
