YALUMBA SHIRAZ OCTAVIUS 05

Yalumba Shiraz Octavius 05

$109.50 750 MLS
Fruit sourced from very old vineyards in the Barossa.  Fermented to 14.5% alc. Matured 22 months in 30% new US oak 90 Litre octaves and 25% in new barriques and hogsheads.  Very dark, deep, black hued purple-red in colour.  This has an explosive nose of rich, ripe black plum fruit with black pepper, liquorice, spicy, sweet oak and moccha.  On palate this is beautifully rich, plush, sweet and juicy.  A wine of depth and density, yet great suppleness.  The degree of richness provides a seamless opulence.  This has considerable extract and grip, yet the fruit covers the phenolics.  Wonderful exotic oak lift and sweet spice.  A great wine carrying surprising finesse.  19.5/20  RC Aug 10

This wine is full-depth red purple in colour. The nose shows hints of opulent plums, coffee and cedar with a crunch of dark berries and a burst of olive and aniseed. The palate displays sweet spicy fruit in the mid palate, all plump and juicy. This is not a massively concentrated wine, but it is full bodied and has a melt of oozing tannins to finish. Immaculate.
