2006 Wendouree Shiraz
Community Tasting Note
Screwcaps Likes this wine:
Sunday, March 21, 2021 - Initial note. Gorgeous, start of leather and mushroom tertiary notes. But still very fresh. Med bodied, perky acidity and red fruit, and trademark menthol and rusty earth notes. Finishes with white pepper and salt. Wine will outlive the cork this vintage, 3/4 way up on one side- same as last bottle.
Will save half for tomorrow.
Took about an hour to drink well. I need to remember to stand these older Wendy’s up the day before- they always throw a huge sediment.
On day two, has not moved too much. The structural components much more harmonious (acidity and tannin) and the fruit more in the softer strawberry spectrum than red cherry night before. Shared with the Duck, completely agree, this is in an ideal drinking window. Excellent to outstanding, drinks like fine Burgundy with a wide fan of flavour and fine tannin, and sappy and soft red fruit. 95. Drink now to 3 years but stand up and filter well in to decanter.
