Yalumba Octavius 1996 Old Vines Shiraz (Barossa, South Australia)

This entry was posted on 6/20/2007 7:08 PM and is filed under Australian Wines, American and Australian, Syrah-Shiraz.

This wine is a real blockbuster, and is one of the best Aussie wines I have had.  Some may find it a little bold and oaky, but it is exquisitely balanced, drinks beautifully, and can last another decade in the cellar should you choose.  The back lable suggests you not drink it until 2010, but I think it drinks well now.  All the characteristic flavors of Aussie Shiraz done to perfection.

4.25 stars
