I couldn’t find a thread for this - what red wine would you buy to go with afghan food?
 
Any one tried this?
Couldn't really find any info apart from CM. Seems quite decent?

It caught my eye, so I ordered a 6-pack yesterday based on the Halliday review, but I won't be trying any for a few years.

I was looking at it as well as my ears always prick up at a mention of a good McLaren Shiraz, however "this medium-bodied wine' phrase in the description stopped me in my tracks.

Any links to a JH review?

"Very sophisticated and luxuriant packaging, the bottle, label and wax capsule all contributing. McLaren Vale is arguably best known for the generosity of its red wines, but this wine has a different personality, with finesse and lightness to its black and purple fruits, spices to the fore, and a touch of regional chocolate. Supple tannins seal the deal."
96 points, $50, drink to 2036

Mike Farmilo is a former maker of Penfolds Grange, St Henri and Bin 707 and twice winner of the Jimmy Watson Trophy.

I'm not 100%< he's the wine maker for this wine tho. Info via Google says he's the lead wine maker elsewhere.

$50 off, + 20% CB may be worth a shot.

Thanks very much for the notes, perhaps not exactly my style of McLaren Vale shiraz as I prefer more fuller bodied expression of the variety, but sounds pretty good nevertheless.

Ya, I was thinking it might be similar to Cordelia - another one they had.
But from JH review below it seemsa little different and/or more elegant.
Worth trying with the $50 discount I guess. Thanks

I bought Cordelia from DM couple of years back as a secret deal $30 a bottle, still have a couple left. It is a quite rich plush and concentrated shiraz, would definitely get it if it was similar to Cordelia - funny enough the same wax enclosure.
 
If anyone is interested in the 2010 & 2015 Euphonium:

 
I ordered these for a mate who asked me to get him some of the cheap wine
