Yarra Yering

Underhill Shiraz 2010

9.3

#AgedWineTuesday

Dark ruby/ Inky in color with a wide reddish rim.

Beautiful nose with blueberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, cedar, licorice, cola, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, rhubarb, light vegetables and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with black currants, blackberries, cedar, sweet cherries, plums, tobacco leaf, eucalyptus, figs, light vanilla, earth, Indian spices, black pepper and coffee.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Shiraz from the Yarra Valley in Australia. Tasty and easy drinking. Fruit forward and nicely balanced. Showing lovely complexity on the nose.

This 14 year old is peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

Feels like a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend. Very interesting.

Thank you Scott for sharing this with me.

I did not decant it, but let it open in the bottle. Good right out of the bottle, and gets better after 90 minutes of airtime.

100% Shiraz grapes were handpicked, and aged for 12 months in large oak barrels.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

Interesting that age transformed it so much away from Shiraz character!

@"Odedi", I bought some MUCH younger (2021? 2019?) Underhill Shiraz at the winery last December when we visited, so this note really caught my attention. If you ever get to the winery, one of my Top 10 ever (and I’ve been tasting for 45+ years) winery tastings!! Cheers, and GREAT tasting note!!

Ruby in color and cloudy, with a wide reddish/ brick rim.

Sweet nose with cedar, vanilla, honey and chocolates.

Sweet on the palate with black fruits, tobacco, cereal, vanilla, licorice, light wood, chocolates, coffee, light cola and peppercorn.

Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.

This 29 year old is still drinking beautifully. Nicely balanced and elegant. Rich and fruit forward.

I don't see it getting any better from this point on. Peaking now and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Delicious right out of the bottle, and a gorgeous dessert wine.
