2003 Shiraz, Juniper Estate

You'll want to save this whopper Western Australian Shiraz, with its chocolate-rich, blackberry fruit, vanilla oak and spice for folks you want to impress. Or something baronial like haunch of venison. Mark Messenger has won massive acclaim for the style, raising the reputation of Juniper Estate to something like that of its illustrious neighbours Cullens and Vasse Felix (with which it shares the gravelly loams and balmy microclimate of Wilyabrup Creek).
