Botham Merrill Willis Shiraz 2006 Magnum

Botham Merrill Willis Shiraz 2006 Magnum. (Personnally signed by Ian Botham)

Ian Botham and Bob Willis are two of the biggest names in the modern era of World Cricket. Geoff Merrill's reputation on the International stage of Winemaking is equally impressive. A mutual passion for their respective professions, cricket and wine, drew them together during the English tour of Australia in 1978. Since then a lasting friendship has developed over many bottles opened and balls bowled.

This wine was aged in small French Oak barrels for 19 months prior to bottling and displays intense aromas of pepper and liquorice complemented by cigar box oak bouquet and a balanced fruit tannin palate. It is medium bodied with a long dry finish.
