Noon Winery - Reserve Shiraz 2006 (750ml) OTCCritical Acclaim 99 points Wine Advocate The 2006 Reserve Shiraz was sourced from a 45 year old vineyard and aged for 18 months in small and large French and American oak. Opaque purple black in color, it gives up a lavish perfume of smoke, mineral, game, bacon, and blueberry that leaps from the glass. Thick, opulent, and intense, it coats the mouth with savory fruit, spices, and a hint of chocolate. Seamless on the palate, it nevertheless conceals
As a result of the vine age and miniscule yield
but what a wine for the vintage
with a very bright rose color
of which 44% is new
PALATE: Notes of ripe fruits and berries leave a pleasant berry aftertaste with delicate silky tannins that create a perfect balance
Abundant and later than usual rains marked the winter leading up to the 2019 season
The aromas are quite expressive with Honeysuckle
minerals and herbs on the intense nose
aromatic mix of red fruits and fall spices
then in 2003 we returned somewhat to our roots with: "W…Dreams…" adding the year of harvest below and drawing Mars on the capsule
citrus and young pineapple core
notes of ripe red fruits
