Impressive. Maybe we hit the age exactly right, but this one seemed to hit all the buttons.

2006 Oliverhill Winery Shiraz Jimmy Section

McLaren Vale more

12/25/2015 - Mossrose wrote: 95 points

Opened this 2006 Jimmy Section to taste against the 2012 Jimmy. The 2006 was made by the previous owner of Oliverhill and the 2012 by the new owners. The 2006 exceeds even the high expectations we had, blew away the very good 2012, and is a strong candidate for the best wine made Oliverhill in the last 15 years. Black colored liquid silk. Deep, complex, and delicious fruit accented by smoked meat. Perfectly integrated tannin, acidity, and French oak. By far the tastiest food match of 8 wines sipped with a dinner featuring oxtail soup and grape leaves stuffed with ground lamb.

The best this 2006 has every been. Pitch black, intensely fruity, rich, lush, delicious, wonderfully integrated and seamless, and well structured by refreshing acidity and firm tannin. Kept open and retasted over 6 days with no deterioration. . The darkest wine on the table and supremely good with meat dishes.

2002 Oliverhill Winery Shiraz Jimmy Section

McLaren Vale more

8/19/2015 - Mossrose wrote: 93 points

This is is surprisingly close to being a Cote Rotie in Australia. Dark to the edge despite being 13 years old. Inviting aromas of violets, black raspberry, blackberry, and black currants. Intense without heaviness. Firmly tannic yet silky. Brightly acidic with no overt sugary taste. Finishes dry. Magnificent with food. Sadly and incomprehensively, when this winery was sold to new owners, they soon stopped making this special Jimmy Section from the best part of the estate vineyard, though the Jimmy Section seems to be belatedly resumed with the 2012 vintage.

Ageworthy Shiraz at its best. Opaque and black to the edge. Wonderful mix of blackberry and smoked meat aromas. Rich and concentrated throughout, including smell, mouthfeel, fruit, and finish. Strong and lively fruit flavors of blackberry, black current, and raspberry. Caressing, integrated, seamless, and silky. Refreshingly acidic and juicy.

This 16 year old wine has proven to be fabulously ageworthy. Opaque purple. Deliciously fruity. Features the smoked meat flavor that older Syrahs get. Lush and caressing texture with still supportive tannin. Perfect match with grilled lamb. Flawless, with nothing old, tired, heavy, brown, or sugary.

Getting better with time. Moss, grass and bark on the nose. Berries hit the palette and then loads of tannins. This has some time yet.

The mead that christened a drinking horn I was gifted.

A fine drink, deftly balanced, smooth, and non-cloying. Moderate sweetness, 10 abv, crisp and graceful finish. The Nordic deities be praised!
