Date: 6 June, 2011
Who: Chambo
What: 2006 Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Shiraz, Grampians
Purchased: Dan's, $23
Food: a sort of lamb shank and mushroom shephard's pie (own recipe; actually worked!)
Comments: bought half dozen to put some bottles in cellar but also to see what it was like now. It is enjoyable, but without blowing me away. A bit spicy on the nose without being crazy. Has opened up a bit since first glass and mellowing. Early doors it was a touch tannic but softening. Could happily drink another bottle now (and have saved one so that will be hooked into in a few months) but really looking forward to having a bottle in 2-3 years. Actually, as it opens up, I could rephrase my earlier statement about not being blown away - still not there, but it is a bit better than what that statement implies. Decant first?
