DRINK OF THE WEEK
3rd March 2025
Burra Brook Shiraz
Marks and Spencer/Ocado £7.00
Drinker Rating 89
This is one of those wines that been on my list for EVER! As I taste a billion wines every year I often forget bottles I've recommended in the past and this is one of those - I always love it and I always come back to my site and see it's been on my list since God was a boy.
This is a perfect easy drinking shiraz, 13.5% so not too much of a whopper and the fruit really sings, casis, blackcurrant and a lovely spicy undertone. All this and still only £7 (up 50p from when I recorded my review back in November - but still amazing value).
Here's to the springtime!
Cheers!
