De Lisio 2006 Shiraz SAMay08 will sell for $70 when it is eventually released and is sealed under cork. The wine is driven by pristine fruit and perfectly framed by fine, unobtrusive tannins and off-setting fresh acid. It is very similar to the 2004 but if anything, this has better structure. The flavour profile is similar, showing some fruit sweetness that’s complemented by a savoury flavour profile of chocolate, coffee, mocha, and star anise. A solid and tight wine that will become seamless in time, it is ample-weight with a supple consistency and sophisticated complexity. A seriously good wine that is still a baby and needs time, its rated as Excellent with *** for value, but the rating will probably improve as the wine enters its peak drinking window between 2012 and 2026.
