Seppelt 09 'Chalambar' Shiraz, VIC

The 04 vintage of Seppelt's Chalambar was heralded in the press over the last 6 years as being the current  benchmark! Well not to be argumentative but..... the 09 vintage upon some serious reflection is going to give the 04 a run. Drinking beautifully now smooth red fruits, acidity, tannin's and depth all seamlessly integrated. Even the pepper character so related to Victorian Shiraz was a positive lift to the equation. Why bother cellaring when this vintage still available on the shelves is drinking so well the questions begs!
