Wanted Man Shiraz/Dolcetto 2006 Tasting Notes

This was tasted recently Prior to a dinner, so it was quite a price to pay for a pre- dinner quaff.

The colour is deep crimson with purple hue. Nose has some pretty evident sweet vanillan oak right up front which might need some time to get soaked up by the fruit. There are some plums, jube-like blueberry, and some pleasant soft spices.
The palate reflects the nose; there is a little raspberry/lolly note, as well as some lovely soft tannins and the finish is quite long. Alcohol is not an issue, at 13.8% and quite restrained (for the Heathcote area).

While very enjoyable to drink, I would question the rather high price tag on this wine. This probably needs to left alone in the cellar for a couple more years to see what happens.
