Majella 2006 Shiraz SAMay08 will sell for $28 at cellar door when it is released and is sealed under screwcap. The bouquet showed spicy earthy notes with a hint of VA/EA. The charming juicy fruit delivers plum, chocolate, mint and liquorice flavours, which combine to create an enchanting, flavour profile, that finishes with good persistence. An ample-weight, supple wine; the pure-fruit has been perfectly matched to the fine, dusty tannins, and fresh acid. It's a very young and fresh but approachable now; rated as Recommended with *** for value, the rating should improve as the wine enters its peak drinking window between 2011 and 2017.
