Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 93 points

The 2010 Neil Ashmead Grand Tourer Shiraz has a deep garnet-purple color and a fragrant potpourri, kirsch and black berry aromas with a very spicy, pepper and anise undercurrent. Medium to full-bodied and nicely poised in the soft, silken textured mouth, it has a long layered finish. Approachable now, it should drink best 2014 to 2022+.
