Seeing as it's Wendouree season, broke out a bottle of the Shiraz Malbec 2000 as a treat, to watch the Origin. Should have opened well before the game ,as it really needed to breath. A quick decant just before kick off. Had to coax the nose, plum with a slightest hint of menthol. Then the tannins.....with almost 16 years bottle time, still tight and grippy... persisting, seems like it will out live me.....I've kept a glass for tonight (most unusual) strictly for scientific purposes and to see how it backs up. A fine drop...
