Yarra Yering
Underhill Shiraz
Yarra Valley, Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia
Initially reductive with aromas of H2S which blew off. Vegetal stalky notes with red fruits. A medium weight palate with a little raspberry and those whole bunch stalky notes. Needed a little more mid palate fruit. In the elegant style - I have had better examples of Underhill. Had another bottle 90 weeks later on 20th January 2023 with similar notes. Vegetal notes not to be confused with H2S. More savoury, spicy than fruit driven. More Rhone than Barossa.

This wine is pure funk. Black olives and balsamic wrapped in rocks. The nose can be a lot to get passed but man this is something else. Haven't tried many wines quite like this. It's almost like a port without any sugar. Funk it up.

Hello old Friend! Translucent, nicely resolved but still on a plateau. Gunflint, spice, smoke, cocoa, bright acidity, red fruit. What a treat.

Very enjoyable. Still showing fruit which is complemented with herbaceousness. Structure still solid. Could age a bit longer, but why?

So primary and young yet. Think this needs time yet.
