Thorn-Clarke makes a luxury bottling, the 2006 William Randell Shiraz. It is a glass-coating opaque purple color with an expressive bouquet of balsam wood, Asian spices, incense, game, blueberry, and licorice. Structured on the palate, it has layers of savory black and blue fruits, good balance, and a lengthy finish. Give it another 4-6 years of bottle age and drink it from 2014 to 2026. Thorn-Clarke is a fine source for values from Australia. There are three levels of wine, the Milton Park series lined priced at $13, the Terra Barossa series line priced at $15, and the Shotfire series line priced at $24. Typically they can be found discounted at hard to resist prices.Importer: Kysela Pere & Fils, Winchester, VA; tel. (540) 722-9228
