Dalwhinnie 2006 Moonambel Shiraz VicFeb08 will sell for about $58 when it is released in late March to mail order customers . The youthful, floral aromatics showed wonderful complexity with blueberry, spice, vanilla and earthy mushroom characters. A modern, clean Australian wine with fine, smooth, tight tannins and pristine fruit that is perfectly lifted by fresh, sherbet like acidity. It’s medium-weight, tight, elegant, and linear across the palate, and has a refined level of complexity. The sweet fruit delivers mocha, chocolate, black cherry, blueberry, cherry, and mint flavours are offset by the clean, acid finish. Rated as Excellent with *** for value, drink from 2012 to 2020.
