Seppelt 2006 Silverband Shiraz
VicFeb08 is sourced from Grampians fruit, is sealed under screwcap and is scheduled for release on 1 September 2009. The cedary oak is more noticeable on the bouquet but the fruit quality is still obvious. Whilst the wine maintains an excellent structure it is more showy than the previous vintage. Fine, dusty tannins combine with pure, deeply-seated fruit to form an ample-weight, firm, solid and tight wine with a well-developed complexity. The juicy fruit delivers sour cherry, rich chocolate and mulberry type characters that finish dry. Rated as Highly Recommended with **** for value, the wine should peak between 2013 and 2018.
