Kaesler The Bogan Shiraz 2006 3L, Barossa Valley
The 2006 Kaesler Bogan Shiraz continues the successful run this label has had over numerous vintages scoring 94 points from well respected wine critics. Presenting itself as a 'true blue'? Barossa Shiraz with all of the abundant fruit stylings one would expect, this lush Shiraz will last into the early 2020's.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 94 pts - The 2006 Shiraz The Bogan was sourced from a Marananga vineyard planted in 1899. It spent 17 months in a mix of new and used French oak. Opaque purple/black in color, it has a superb perfume of balsam wood, mineral, underbrush, black raspberry, and blueberry liqueur. Sweet and opulent on the palate, this full-bodied Shiraz has gobs of succulent fruit, excellent integration of oak, tannin, and acidity, and a long, smooth finish. Give it another 3-4 years of cellaring and enjoy it from 2011 to 2022. - Feb 2009 James Halliday's Wine Companion - 94 pts - Another full-bodied wine, but again the quality of the fruit and the concentration is beyond question; the flavour is quite astounding and persistent, driven by alcohol. Shiraz. Date tasted 25 Jan 2008, drink by 2020
