Nectar of the Gods in a bottle! Beautiful silky tannins, earth, dusty notes, espresso and tobacco, oak, white pepper, slight sage and menthol. On the palate , fruit making way for baking spices, nutmeg and cinnamon. 8 years old now but will get another to hold out for ten year mark.

Had this at a trade tasting last week and been meaning to post it! It has just a smidge of sweet to it but also sings of freshness and delight. Different than most Australian Rieslings I’ve had—in that it tasted indelibly like Riesling. Which is not shade against their Rieslings so much as it is shade on me for always failing to identify them in tests. Anyway, adored this wine. Would guzzle again. — 6 years ago

Lighter in style. This wine has a lighter honeydew and melon kind of nose with dried herb. Entry is acidic, under-ripe kiwi and pear that stays lean in the middle. Getting some oak on the finish. Lots of life ahead on this wine. — 6 years ago

Really beautiful, feminine Shiraz. Not as full body or powerful as Barossa: brighter fruit with smooth undertones of pepper. — 6 years ago

A kiss of kero and dash of lime with phenomenal length. Effortless. — 7 years ago

Lovely, brisk, pretty grenache, this one. Light on its feet. Light to medium bodied with great acid that complements the mix of dark cherry and red fruit notes. Yum. — 7 years ago

Exceeded expectations- not Oaket but had similar properties of full flavor, very mineral, but well balanced — 4 years ago

This is close to perfection
Fairly big body not huge, but driven by an agility, suppleness, drinkability tremendously out of the ordinary
I have had other vintages and I must admit 2012 is arguably the best or close second to the 98.
Statement :I love Clare Valley shiraz, it is surely the most Rhone like 100% shiraz, for the big bold body u need to add malbec or mataro. Almost flawless
Silky tannin and long — 6 years ago

The acidity is like a punch in the face - in a good way! Very dry with a bit of sunny currant. — 7 years ago

Off-vintage but tasty. A bit of a mouldy nose, eucaliptus, pine, herbs, blackcurrants and blueberries. Really strong presence of a pencil shaves note. Not as heavy and concentrate as it is. — 8 years ago

Wham bam. This is big fruity balls in your mouth, I mean how can you say no? I will be going back to the LCBO and getting several more bottles of this. Cherry, ripe berries and a touch of pepper. — 4 years ago

Still holding unbelievably
It feels like a great Bordeaux with a mesmerizing eucalyptus decoration rather than other kind of greens
There is no other Australian wine that gives me this pleasure
Super elegant and endless — 6 years ago

Powerful aromas and flavours with grainy savoury tannins. These Wendouree Reds are built to last and I am starting to realise that they are best after 15 years. Certainly another 10 years in this one. Very Australian with Eucalypt/Menthol and earthy minerality - more savoury than fruit driven - not surprising at 17 years of age. — 7 years ago

So pleasant
I have seen some of the old vines they use for this wine
They date back to the beginning of the XX century
So fascinating 👍 — 7 years ago
