Wendouree Shiraz 1998

9.0

Initial aged savoury notes featuring coffee grounds. See if I can continue this note. Wendouree Shiraz produced from ancient vines provides one of Australia’s iconic wines. This however was a little disappointing at 28 years from a big ripe vintage. I must say it still had a full bodied palate with amazing length and persistence with mid palate concentration. Ultra savoury. Despite this I have had better Wendourees. Similar to my sentiments on a previous Delectable note in November 2015. — 16 days ago

@Bob McDonald Hello mate, sorry to see a disappointing bottle from this producer but as we know this can happen sometimes even too often. I reckon i had the 98 a couplof times and at least once i felt underwhelmed by it. As you know Wendouree has a special spot in my cellar, but sometimes it is irritating and i started to move on from it a while ago.
However i hope you are good.
All the best mate

Good to be back home with my cellar🥰
The wine took a while to open up, but then it showed all the elegance of the Wendouree Shiraz and the muscular intensity of the allegedly oldest vines of Malbec in the world.
It is always something special to open this producer.
Definitely not a typical Australian wine; extremely good with food. I would say supportive with the meal. Long and reassuring.
@Delectable Wine i am having a big issue, about 1500/1600 wine reviews of mine have gone. I can't visualise them anymore..could you please help?🙏thanks — 12 days ago
