Inkwell 2005 Shiraz SAMay08 is sealed under screwcap and has not been released yet. The bouquet showed spicy, coffee oak notes over clean fruit. The wine was made using reductive handling. This wine is nowhere near together yet it has all the right components in the right proportions. The fruit is pure, the acid is youthful and the tannins dusty. It's an ample-weight, firm and solid wine and has both better fruit and better oak than the 2004. The fruit is sweet but the flavour profile is savoury and finishes dry with cherry, plum, chocolate, aniseed and other black notes. Rated as Highly Recommended with **** for value (based on a possible price of $30) the rating should improve as the wine enters its peak drinking window between 2013 and 2020. It's pretty smart stuff for the price. Since the tasting a few weeks ago, the 05 has been released and has just about sold out.
