    Wakefield 2015 The Pioneer Exceptional Parcel Release Shiraz (Clare Valley)

    This wine is currently in a quiet spot and needs either lengthy decanting or to be opened a day in advance of drinking. It's only then that it feels cohesive, and the red fruit, floral and savory spice and umami notes start to shine. It's tightly structured, with fresh acidity and sinewy tannins, and clearly built for the long haul. Hold through 2028.
