The 2022 vintage shows a firmer, more tightly wound style, with compact black fruit, savoury depth, zesty acidity and a strong mineral line running through the palate. This is a serious Shiraz built for patience, yet already full of character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"167\" data-end=\"627\"\u003eHalliday Wine Companion - 93 Points\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"tastingNote\" class=\"o-p c-tasting__description-main-blurb\" data-gtm-vis-has-fired1282393_180=\"1\"\u003eAll from 1919 plantings. A parcel of fruit set aside singularly. Roasted coffee beans, licorice, then blackcurrants with salted, preserved plum, turned earth, old campfire and choc-stout beer whiffs. The palate an echo of this with a grippy, twiggy oak element in the mix. Feels stern and firm, a bitter note in the wine, zesty-lemon acidity is noted here. More preserved, salted plum follows in taste with choc-mint, espresso and eucalyptus in tow. The wine lingers with a more vibrant, tart cherry character and sweet spice to finish. Tannins are puckering, grippy and stony. Not quite pleasure zone stuff yet, but stay the course as it finds its future balance and flourishes in cellar. \u003cstrong\u003eMike Bennie\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1y9spqs\" data-start=\"629\" data-end=\"645\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"647\" data-end=\"767\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"647\" data-end=\"657\"\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Preserved plum, black fruit, choc-mint, cedar, spice and savoury earth. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"769\" data-end=\"933\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"769\" data-end=\"780\"\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact and structured, with dark fruit, fine savoury detail, firm acidity and mineral tension from front to back. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"935\" data-end=\"1080\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"935\" data-end=\"946\"\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, focused and tightly framed, with persistent spice, dark fruit and a firm tannin backbone. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1ryk3uw\" data-start=\"1082\" data-end=\"1104\"\u003eServing Suggestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1106\" data-end=\"1210\"\u003eBest suited to richer dishes such as roast lamb, grilled ribeye, slow-braised beef or hard aged cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"hoynb3\" data-start=\"1212\" data-end=\"1251\"\u003eAbout the Winery \/ Producer \/ Region\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1253\" data-end=\"1637\"\u003eWendouree is one of the great historic estates of Clare Valley, founded in 1895 and under the stewardship of Tony and Lita Brady since 1974. The estate is closely associated with very old vines, traditional winemaking and reds built on longevity rather than early softness, and its stone winery remains a defining part of the property’s identity. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1ubc8v4\" data-start=\"1639\" data-end=\"1661\"\u003eCellaring Potential\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1663\" data-end=\"1996\"\u003eThis is built for the long haul and should reward extended cellaring.
