4/22/2024 - z747gdgh45 Likes this wine: 94 pointsReally 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. |

4/17/2024 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRA 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. |

2009 Yalumba Shiraz The OctaviusBarossa Valley more |
4/17/2024 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRRemarkably 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. |

4/17/2024 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRThe 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. |

4/16/2024 - Scott4227 Likes this wine: 87 pointsLighter 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. |

4/10/2024 - black fruits Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis 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. |

3/30/2024 - EastBayPhil Likes this wine: 95 pointsDrank 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. |

11/13/2023 - Yondan Likes this wine: 92 pointsRich, 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. |
