De Lisio 2006 Kristina Shiraz SAMay08 will sell for $45 when it is released and it is sealed under cork. The dusty, unobtrusive tannins are ultrafine and brilliantly matched to the delightful, pristine, juicy fruit which is in charge. Flavours of dark chocolate, plum and coffee are luscious and finish with beautiful length, and whilst there is some fruit sweetness to the wine the flavour profile is both luscious and savoury. It's a clean, modern wine and I wanted to keep sipping, or better still, drink it. It's just ample in weight with a silky consistency, a tight and seamless structure and harmonious complexity. Rated as Excellent with **** for value drink over the next 10+ years.
