2 x Eden Springs "High Eden" Shiraz 2006
WHAT WE THINK
This bargain Shiraz typifies the region with a rich, sweet and luxuriously long palate but also showing off the Eden Valley subtlety at the same time. Being a 2006 vintage the wine is ready to drink now but will continue to develop for at least another six years in a good cool cellar. Tasting this blind you would think you are drinking a $30 red. Drink now – 2018

2 x Marius Simpatico Shiraz 2005
WHAT OTHERS THINK
Aromas of fresh berries, cherry, chocolate, licorice, new leather and coffee. Bright and floral too. On the palate full bodied with blackberry, raspberry, chocolate, mineral and coffee flavours. The tannins here are outstanding with a backbone that is firm and fine grained and runs the length of the palate. There is a touch of warmth too but it’s offset by some clean fresh acidity. Excellent length of flavour. A wine with a degree of complexity and interest rarely found at this price point. 93/100. Drink: 2010-2016.
