Initial aged savoury notes featuring coffee grounds. See if I can continue this note. Wendouree Shiraz produced from ancient vines provides one of Australia’s iconic wines. This however was a little disappointing at 28 years from a big ripe vintage. I must say it still had a full bodied palate with amazing length and persistence with mid palate concentration. Ultra savoury. Despite this I have had better Wendourees. Similar to my sentiments on a previous Delectable note in November 2015.

May 17th, 2026Expected more from the highly reputable Wendouree in a very good vintage. A little rustic and lacking complexity. Have written elsewhere on Delectable my thoughts on Wendouree.
