Waurn Ponds Estate Reserve Shiraz 2006 Wednesday, Oct 31 2007
Tasting Notes and Australia and Geelong and Variety and Red and shiraz et al
I have tasted this twice now, and while the second bottle is better, I still find it a very curious wine. Enigmatic certainly.
Aromas of cassis, blackberry, stewed plums flecked with vanilla, pepper, a puff from an inner-tube and the scent of a two stroke mower going over long sweet grass. A challenging yet strangely compelling mix of herbal, chemical and fruity smells. On the palate medium to full bodied with raspberry coulis, blackberry, spice and dried herb flavours. It is smooth and lush with plenty of powdery fine grained tannins and good length of flavour. It drinks really well and feels good. I like it but find it very hard to rate rationally.
