Description
Claymore owner Dr. Anura Nitchingham likes to use favourite songs, albums and artists when naming his wines, and this one is named for the 1973 Pink Floyd album. The Dark Side of the Moon Shiraz has a proven track record of delivering a wealth of black fruit and spice with drying tannins in a smooth and silky package. It can be enjoyed tonight with hearty winter stews or rack of lamb, but this classic will easily reward up to 10 years in your cellar.

Tasting Notes
Richly fruited and immensely appealing, the wine shows dark and purple fruit intensity together with toasted spice, violet, cocoa and cedar nuances. It's concentrated and opulent on the palate displaying gorgeously rounded mouthfeel and fleshy texture, finishing impressively long and velvety. At its best: now to 2035. Score - 95.
