Mount Pleasant Wines
Philip Shiraz
Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia
I read this has taken a big step up this vintage so picked up a case from DM at 13.60/bottle. Amazing buying. Clean fresh black/red fruit with a savoury and subtle sourness to it. Fine but firm tannins and long finish. Didn't get it to a second night but suspect would have been even better.

2nd tasting a few months later and an upward appreciation, for this classic Australian Shiraz. On the nose as in the mouth the primary notes of fruit are respected with this little I don't know what typical of Australian syrah, something that reminds of Italian wines by the sweetness (blueberry, ripe, gaulry). Ageing in oak barrels is well melted. For its price range we it’s correct.
2ème dégustation à qqs mois d’intervalle et une appréciation à la hausse, pour ce classique Shiraz australien. Au nez comme en bouche les notes primaires de fruits sont respectées avec ce petit je ne sais quoi typique des syrah d’Australie, qq chose qui rappelle un peu les vins italiens par la sucrosité (myrtille, mûr). L’élevage en fût de chêne est bien fondu. Pour sa gamme de prix on est très bien.

Incredible concentration and power (esp for the $$) Quite raw. Needs 5+ years for tannin, acid and alc to settle down a bit.
