My kind of wine. Lovely mix of ripe elegant flavour and smart oak, the perfume and style of it both delicious and enchanting. This is a wine distinguished by its complex, elongated, integrated tannin, by its fresh acidity, by its easy length of flavour. It tastes of spice, cherries, plums and musk, and after decanting it for an hour or so, a bottle of this then disappeared in a flash. Drink: 2008-2020. 95 points. Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front

Very dark cherry - red. Impressive. A lovely perfume highlighting juniper and rhubarb with a gentle whiff of freshly picked raspberries. Coffee and mocha also present. The palate is just superb. Sweet rich concentrated shiraz juice coats the mouth followed by seriously long fine dry tannins and a searing sherbet acidity to keep everything in check. This is a more masculine style of Dalwhinnie Shiraz which will need time to come around. Because no single vineyard wines were produced in 2006 due to exceptionally low yields, all seven Shiraz blocks, including the single vineyard grapes went into making the Dalwhinnie Moonambel Shiraz 2006. It is a wine of immense power and complexity and reminds me a lot of the 1997 Eagle Series. Cellaring Potential: 8 ' 10 years + David Jones, owner and winemaker
