Pirramimma 2005 Shiraz SAMay08 will sell for $26.50 when it is released shortly and is sealed under cork. It was bottled only a few months ago. The bouquet was completely closed and showed nothing but the dominant coffee oak. Silky tannins and fresh acid dominate the deeply-seated, dark chocolate and star anise flavoured fruit, and whilst it's hard to judge the wine at this stage, it is consistent in style with previous vintages, and history shows that the fruit will surface in time. It's a muscular-weight supple wine with a solid structure and is rated as Rated as Highly Recommended with **** for value. It should be in its peak drinking window between 2012 and 2017.
