2010 is drinking perfectly at the moment. Decanted for 30 minutes and a little longer in the glass. Cinnamon on the nose, velvety mulberries on the palate.

Really tasty. Almond croissant, hazelnut, cake. Smooth, velvety sweetness followed by pleasant heat on the mid palate, long finish of nuts and stewed red fruits. Medium acidity that balances well. Big fan of this random pickup I got to make cocktails initially.

A very good wine from a very difficult vintage. This is 60% Cabernet and 40% Shiraz from the Barossa. It has some truffle and cedar along with Indian spice notes. There’s gentle vinous sweetness and bitter fruit freshness. It is balanced and energetic.

Delicious raspberry and blackberry fruits. A sprig of mint and some milk chocolate development. Tannins have softened but bright acidity gives the wine focus and energy. Nice balance and very tasty at this juncture.

This was like a vinous mint slice. It had beautiful cassis fruit as well. It is a glossy wine, of character and polish. Tannins are ripe and it has plenty of drive.

2009 Yalumba Shiraz The Octavius

Barossa Valley more

4/17/2024 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NR

Remarkably youthful and purple of colour. Quite a smoky nose, with some tar and menthol too. There are luscious, dark fruits at its core and some earthy nuance at the extremities. The finish is chewy and there’s bright acidity.

Perfectly ripe and juicy blood plum fruit. It is loaded with spice and has excellent fruit intensity. Tannins are ripe and the wine has a creamy feel. Length is imposing.

The first vintage for Yalumba off this special plot planted in 1889. A whiff of smoke and plenty of intense raspberry fruit. There’s a hint of menthol too. It is deep, rich and powerful and is still very fresh.

An intriguing nose of lantana, ripe orchard fruits and pepper. The palate has a touch of the exotic, but is still fresh and vital.

Lighter and more simple than the 2021, simple red fruit and a little mixed spice on the nose, light to mid weight sweet red berry flavours, light acid, no noticeable tannins... a good quaffer, good QPR at $15AUD short lived .. to 2026-27 at best.

A Cassis and sweet black cherry nose.
Blackberry and cherry pallet with a hint of dried cranberry and a long dry finish. Fruit, acid and tannin are in balance.
Aging well

This was excellent. Great match to Asian inspired pork ribs in sticky black sauce. This wine had enough weight to stand up to the ribs and the dry finish cut through the sweetness of the black sauce. The wine itself still had a green tinge to it with pear and citrus coming through. Great balanced crispness to finish. Perfect drinking window for the next few years.

Surprisingly dark.

Somewhat muted nose.

Sweet vintage port like! Very much so. Right down to the touch of raisins. Interesting but be warned!

Cork, 13.5% claim which is obviously wrong, Yalumba have terrible record of alcohol claims.

Drank this sometime in 2023 and never did get around to entering a tasting note into CT. Do remember thinking "Damn, this is amazing." Truthfully it had held together amazingly well and was a testament to what the Hill-Smith family and Yalumba do with these special bottlings.

Rich, robust with pleasant aromas. Aromas of Black Cherry, Plumb, Tobacco Leaf. Something medicinal like a Luden cough drop. Taste like black plumb, blackberry, black cherry. Some spice notes. Initially the wine had a smokiness that later dissipated.
After some time in the glass the wine softened and even got a bit chewy. The aromas developed a slight vegetal element. The texture was smooth, and the acidity was medium/low. Tannins were medium and sweet, There was a slight chalkiness similar to a Rutherford Cab.

The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis) and blackberry. It tastes like blackberry, black currant (cassis), blueberry, vanilla, oak and cinnamon.
The body is full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

Opened 2h early. My comments of October 2022 still stand. Very deep (opaque) colour and a good nose, as before together with lots of juicy fruit and complexity. Excellent balance and acidity. Drinking well. Good value. 89+

Drank this at a wine dinner with my wine mates at Kam Boat Teochew Restaurant. Theme of the evening: Wines that start with the letter Y.

Dark brooding purple with complex notes of dark spices, ripe berries, cedar, solid timber, and fresh plums, with a lingering finish. Almost Bordeaux-like on the nose, despite this being a Cabernet Sauvignon - Shiraz blend. After an hour or so that mocha, milk chocolate and red fruits become more pronounced. Yummy!

Always favour wines that presents layers and dimensions, and this wine is exactly that. Fantastic!

Medium bodied, and a nice deep ruby color. Juicy ripe red berries, licorice, pencil lead, stone, and a hint of orange rind. Some heat but well-balanced. Round, soft tannins.

Just an easy-going, quaffable Grenache with an awesome QPR. Paired well with Korean spicy marinated pork belly. 90 pts for me.

EDIT: 2nd and 3rd days offered a balance of stewed and fresh black fruit with the same gentle yet present tannins.
