Wendouree Shiraz Mataro 2011

I took this bottle from my cellar to a friend who just received his complete allocation of 2022 Wendouree. We obviously compared this 2011 Shiraz Mataro with the latest 2022. If this exercise proved one thing that was that any cuvée of Wendouree should not be opened at under 10 years of age. The 2011 had a gorgeous nose of blackberry, liquorice and spice…..intoxicating! Whereas the 2022 was as tight as a drum…giving very little. The palate was fluid and smooth with those same aromatics coming through on the palate with that amazing old vine opulence and persistence. I had my first bottle back in August 2022. Notes are here on Delectable. — 11 days ago

If wine needs to be kept 10 years before revealing its charms, I always think: will I still be alive 😏 or do I buy for my children

Most likely your are buying for someone else, but that is not necessarily a bad thing...as long as someone did buy for you earlier😁😁🤞

Needs air but so elegant and gorgeous. Pretty. Roses, mid season. cherry, mineral and very open palate that is fleshing out minute by minute. Gorgeous, elegant tannins and very pure. Let’s see what air does. Such a wispy wine. — 17 days ago

Great cab, with a softer approach than many CA cabs at this price point. In TN with Don. — 2 months ago
