Beautifully dark and translucent in the glass, the nose is redolent with plum sauce, blackberry, blueberry and chocolate haloed by baking spices and vanilla. The entry is lush and defined by small, grippy tannins alongside medium+ acidity, framed by tobacco, blue fruit, and green peppercorns, leading into a medium length finish, full of umami, that wraps up neat and clean, beckoning another sip.

CHW Confidential
An incredible find from a tragic situation; the trade war between China and Australia that played out a few years back left a hefty portion of premium juice destined for mainland Asia in limbo, and who better to slide in and score you one of the deals of the decade? From a premier house's top-end program, we scored a killer price on their high-end, newly surplus Shiraz. Regularly reaching for just under the triple digit mark (before astronomical restaurant markups), we're very excited to offer you this Shiraz for under $20/bottle - a massive pass of this deal's savings onto yourselves!
Lot 834 has no expense spared in its production, and a water-tight NDA to match - per usual with these deals at this level. Not much can be said except you've probably heard of the original producer (if you hang in the high-end Aussie circles) and you'll probably never get this wine in the US as it was never produced to come here (unless you know a smuggling collector or the like). Stock up, because once the word gets out on this bottling, it may not hang around for much longer....
