Note di degustazione
Still a youthful purple color, the 2005 Wolf Blass Shiraz Platinum Label, aged for 20 months in new and one-year-old French barrels, delivers a fantastic array of spiced berry fruits, saddle leather, crushed flowers, and subtle chocolate on the nose. Beautifully complex and nuanced aromatically, and just starting to show a smidge of maturity, the wine is medium to full bodied on the palate, possessing an impressively balanced, almost elegant profile, juicy acidity, and a long, classically dry finish. I’m a fan as this has real character; it’s drinking very well at the moment, but should continue to evolve gracefully for another decade.

The 2005 Shiraz Platinum Label sourced from the Barossa Valley spent 20 months in new and one-year-old French oak. The aromatics reveal pain grille, pencil lead, espresso, blueberry, sausage notes, and chocolate. This leads to a full-bodied wine with gobs of savory, spicy black and blue fruit flavors, a smooth texture, and exceptional depth. This lengthy wine can be enjoyed now but will evolve for 4-6 years and be at its best from 2013 to 2025. Importer: Foster Wine Estates Americas, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 259-4500
