(Emigre) âmigrÄ Dear Friends, The category is down but there are still a few wines I get a lot of requests for - this is one of them. To ease the pain, this at the lowest possible tariff I could muster - I can't go any lower than this so don't even ask (it should be at $65-70, even from us): ONE SHIPMENT ONLY at this price with impeccable provenance: 2006 Colonial Estate âmigrÄ (Barossa Valley) It will ship during the fall shipping season (unless the weather holds and then we will ship it at the end of the spring season). Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Aus7080

Drink up. Starting to turn slightly porty. Lacking that wonderful full bodied shiraz it once had.

The 2006 Emigre is a blend of four vineyards and six grape varieties (Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvedre, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, and Muscadelle).
Dark ruby core, rich, ripe and slightly pungent nose, gradually open up to show blueberry jam, plum, black cherry, smoke and sweet cedar notes.
Soft and velvety entry, showing Blackcurrant, blueberry, cherry and liqueur. Intensity slowly build up on palate with a polished mouthfeel.
Smooth and almost dissolve tannins, lingering finish with hints of spicy aftertaste.
Drink over the night. Still holding well and opening up after 2 hours. It has old world touch but with a distinctive new world fruits .

Complex melded aromas of salted plums, sweet chestnuts, lilacs, rich espresso, and game meat. Sweet saturating juice on the palate with an intense acid frame, lilting aromas moving into a wild tannic acid finish. Great energy and wisdom, lovely with Szechuan eggplant and Japanese rice.

Intense aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherries, leather, forest mold, with notes of white pepper and baking spice. Concentrated pastille fruit on the palate, viscous with weighty tannins, delicate touch of acids, some bright aromatic color at the back. Not my normal style, but a good example of that, carries its 14.5% alcohol well.
