Cliff Richard has a string of hits going back many years, among them Where Do We Go from Here; sadly the same could be said for his wine venture, as it is rumoured to be up for sale. Aged in oak for 12 months, this delicious Syrah Aragoñez blend exhibits opulent black cherry fruit with some sweet spice from the oak. The palate is rich and compact with firm tannins, rich black fruit concentration and a smoky finish. One for a big piece of grilled meat, and best decanted.
