Without any wine makers notes or comments on the bottle, the consumer is
left entirely to themselves to assess this wine.
The 2001 Dalwhinnie Shiraz in the price range of $60 to $90 is at the high end
of the market but proved well worth the cost, when opened for a special
dinner recently – filet mignon, steamed vegetables and a pepper mushroom
sauce.
A lively but deep colour, a soft palate tasting of berries and black currants,
with only a slight touch of tannins and a pleasing finish, left a feeling that this
is a very good wine.
I suspect it will continue to cellar well for quite a few more years and develop even more complex character with further time.
I will certainly look for more of this wine.
