  Our ambient cellar has relatively perfect storing conditions with minimal temp swings, perhaps a bit on the cooler side at points throughout the year, however moderated by clay tiles. The point of the story is this wine, which has been in my cellar since 2011 was drinking perfectly, but with at least 5 more years of peak drinking in my opinion so need to panic IF your cellar conditions are similar as what I've described, just a lovely wine and very consistent with previous vintages of this gem - Dark, with a very slight amber on the rim indicative of it's age, full bodied, with notes of plum, cherry, spice, leather, cedar and vanilla on the palate, silky smooth on the palate with outstanding length, just awesome! (94 Points).

  Vertical tasting dinner with 2005, 2006 & 2008 Yalumba Signatures (decanted 3 hours). All three drank with dinner which was lamb 3 ways (rosemary lamb chops, braised lamb breast stuffed w merguez), lobster mac & cheese & minted peas.
  
  2006 - what a contrast to the 2005. This was a short-medium finish, lovely and spicy/woody (cedar?). Of the three this was a v close 3rd. Re-tasted after drinking the 05 & 08 and it was epically good.
  
  All 3 are wonderful examples of really good Aussie wines - leading the world with these cab/shiraz blends.

  Aussie claret that exceeded expectations. Still quite fresh, some time ahead of it, but good to go right now.
