Deep Ruby with slightly lighter ruby edge nose and palate of dark cherry flavours with some vanilla and tobacco flavours
Still maturing but will last a long time.
Great accompaniment to a NY cut steak. Should further mature for a decade or more.

Deep red with intense purple hues.
Nose is perfumed with aromatic notes showing dark blackcurrants, red currants with nice spices and subtle vanilla.
Mouth-filling on palate with silky tannin structure, firmly supported by seamlessly integrated oak. Good acidity with a long, lingering, and sustained finish..

I’d forgotten about this which I bought many moons ago as part of a vertical of Albert’s.
The 2005 was one of their earliest vintages and having “found” it thought it was probably outside its drinking window. Lots of sediment and crust had lined inside bottle much like a Henschke Mount Edelstone, decanted and it opened up after a couple of hours and it was beautifully smooth and integrated package of flavours.
I have a 2005 Edelstone which I’ll open soon but the Albert evolved over the evening and is an excellent testament to Kym Teusner’s work. — 8 days ago

At 12 years this has matured nicely, deep purple near black with dark berries aromas, mellowed tannins and although 14% abv it’s well integrated and leads to long lasting finish.
A great Barossa Shiraz — 23 days ago
