Two Hands Gnarly Dudes Barossa Shiraz 2013 $38 ★★★★½
There’s something oddly comforting about drinking a wine from a bottle that has a picture of a grapevine so old and gnarly it looks like Treebeard the Ent from Lord of the Rings on the label. Dark, inky-magenta coloured and bursting with dusty leather, eucalypt, ultra-ripe blackcurrant and plum flavours, pepper and concentrated, lipsmacking spices; it’s fantastic.
