Seppelt 2006 St Peter's Shiraz VicFeb08 is sealed under screwcap and is due for release on 1 September this year. The bouquet is more expressive on this wine and also showed spicy, malty oak. An ample-weight, firm, solid and tight wine it has all the components in the right proportions. The pure, deeply-seated fruit is currently overshadowed by the fine, drying, powdery tannins and it needs time to come together. The fruit is fleshier and richer than the 05. This baby is like Martina Hingis. Her parents knew she would be great, the question was how great. Rated as Excellent with *** for value (now.) Think about it again in 2014.
