Seppelt Benno Shiraz 2006 is a premium aged Shiraz offering depth and evolving complexity. From a warm vintage, it delivers dense dark fruit, integrated spice and oak, and a refined tannic structure that has softened with time. Expect leather, cocoa and subtle tobacco notes as it opens, with a long, savory finish. Best enjoyed after decanting now or with careful cellaring for added nuance.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: dark blackberry and plum, with fig undertones, integrated vanilla/oak, hints of leather and cocoa, and subtle spice.
- Palate: full-bodied and concentrated, with black fruit core, espresso/chocolate notes, fine-grained tannins, balanced acidity, and well-integrated oak.
- Finish: long and savory, carrying spice and cocoa into the aftertaste.
- Overall: age-worthy with drinking window now or potential for further development with careful storage.
