Hardy’s Bin 53

Posted On June 27, 2009

I can’t wait to try this.  Hardy’s Bin 53 Special Release was in Sainsbury’s at a special price of £3.99.  For an Australian shiraz that looks like very good value.  And Hardy’s is pretty dependable, too.  It’s an ’08 shiraz from South-Eastern Australia, coming in at 14 percent.  The label promises “forest berry flavours with savoury notes and a lingering blackcurrant and mulberry finish.”  I’m going to serve it at a barbecue, thinking it might go well with strong tasting meat and sausages.
