Seppelt St Peters Grampians Shiraz 2005 Quite fragrant with aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, cracked pepper steak, aniseed and sweet vanilla oak. On the palate medium bodied with sweet black and blue berry fruit, aniseed, pepper, meat and vanilla oak. Very fine firm but persistent tannins and good acidity. Immaculate and finely balanced throughout. Finishes with plenty of spice and good length of flavour. I can’t fault it but I don’t find it particularly exciting either - at least as a young wine. It will, of course, cellar beautifully. Drink : 2012 - 2020+ 92 points Gary Walsh, Winorama Seppelt Grampians St Peters Shiraz 2005 ($60) screwcap: This is moving ever-closer to a cooler, spicer style, the oak influence becoming less and less. It's also brimming with floral, violetty scent, the flavours that follow matching the style beautifully: pepper, aniseed, raspberry, cherry and blueberry, a husky meaty undercarriage packing it with interest. This is not a big wine: it's medium-weight and spice-driven, and at this early stage of its life,m it needs at least a few hours in a decanter to show its complex best. Preferably, it needs ten years in a cool, dark cellar. Great finesse. Drink: 2013-2022. 95 points. Campbell Mattinson; The Wine Front
