Note di degustazione
The 2006 Shiraz The Standish comes from extremely old vines (planted in 1912) and the sandy, clay driven soils of the Standish Family Vineyard. Aged for 36 months in older French oak, the wine sports classic Shiraz aromatics of upfront ripe blackberry and black currant fruit that’s complemented by notions of lavender, crushed stone, pepper, graphite, and savory, meaty characteristics that develop more with air. Full bodied and no lightweight on the palate, the wine delivers loads of fruit that’s carried by a seamless, focused texture, perfect balance, and a very long, borderline decadent finish. I’m a fan and this bottle didn’t really hit its stride until the second day, so if drinking anytime soon, a healthy decant is recommended. It should continue to evolve and drink well for 12-15 years and is a superb Shiraz!

The 2006 Shiraz was sourced from a single parcel of 98 year old vines yielding a minuscule 0.5 tons of fruit per acre. It was aged for 36 months in seasoned French oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it offers up a superb, room-filling bouquet of cigar box, baking spices, smoked meat, lavender, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. On the palate this harmonious, velvety-textured effort is voluptuous, full-flavored, succulent, and exceptionally long. It has enough structure to evolve for 4-6 years but will be hard to resist early on. Its prime drinking window will extend from 2014 to 2026. The Standish Wine Company is quickly becoming one of the Barossa Valley’s benchmarks. Importer: Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA; tel. (206) 923-1376

Inky purple. Intense, mineral-dominated nose evokes blueberry, black raspberry, cracked pepper, mace and anise. A sexy floral quality comes up with air and carries onto the palate, which shows superb clarity to the spicy dark berry flavors. Fresh and sappy shiraz with vivid red and dark berry flavors clinging to a long, juicy and gently sweet finish.
