Stephen Pannell Field Street Shiraz

Currently known as Australia's best Shiraz prognosticator - Stephen Pannell crafts rich but elegant cool climate fare.

Lots of blackberry, tar and asphalt aromas with some black pepper, too. Medium to full body with creamy tannins and lots of spices and white pepper underneath the dark fruits. Drink or hold 95 POINTS, JAMES SUCKLING

Very deep, dense red-purple colour, intense spices and dark fruits to sniff, the palate punchy and broad, full across the tongue, and grainy tannins invade the entire palate. Quite powerful, emphatic flavour and structure: a serious shiraz which doesn't stint on tannin and allows the fruit character to shine. 93 HUON HOOKE. THE REAL REVIEW
