BIRKS WENDOUREE Shiraz 1992

The first Wendouree Shiraz that I purchased. At the winery back before they were all sold by mail order or allocation.
The wine is a riper. Stll dark and brooding in colour. The nose is redolent of blackberry, plum and hints of mint. The palte is big and powerful, as is the Wendouree way. Blood plum blackberry and liquorice, very easy mature drinking. will hold for some time.

Price: $16 (1994)
Drink: Anytime in the next 5ish years
Score: 95

JASPER HILL EMILYS PADDOCK 1992

Deep purple in the glass, just begining to brown. Strong, rich nose game, liquorice, blackberry and plum. The palate is big and powerful with liquorice and dark fruits. Nice length softened tannins very good balance. A very enjoyable drink.

Jasper Hill

MAIN RIDGE Chardonnay 1992

Deep yellow, almost gold, showing its age. Very rich peach, cashews, cream and pineapple fruit aromas. The palate delivers a rich full wine peach/pinapple nutty and creamy. Very clean finish quite delicious.

If you still have any of this you should drink it. It is still very good but there is sure to be variation between bottles of this age.
