Penola Estate 2006 Shiraz

Variety: Shiraz
Region/G.I.: Limestone Coast, Coonawarra

Vintage: 2006
Closure: Screwcap
Colour: Purple brown

Alcohol: 13.5%
Bouquet: Tar, raspberry, plum jam (and after an hour, milk chocolate)

Flavour: Light bodied and very even, suggesting age as it was tasted blind. Flavours according to the nose. Some spicy tannin but very gentle at the end
Points: 86 (4+7+11+7+7+50)
Notes: This came second from four in our Shiraz tasting. One of the first bottles I bought on returning to Australia in 2009 and it has aged well. From a region renowned for Cabernet Sauvignon. Bought for $9.09~170Kc on special
