Grand Vin de Glenelly 2008

£14 (Wine Society). Heady, powerful mixture of what looks like classic bordeaux blend but is in fact 40% shiraz, 39% cabernet sauvignon, 14% petit verdot and 7% merlot.
Classy structured fruit. Hard to imagine getting anything else as fruity, savoury, cedary and satisfying at this price outside Stellenboch. I shall return for more of this. It would be good on Christmas day.
