A pair of bottles stored in my underground Victorian cellar. A chance to compare the flagship 'Block 6' Shiraz with the 'Hillside' label from the same vintage, 2006.
2006 Kay Brothers Amery Vineyards Block 6 Shiraz, McLaren Vale
Robert Parker Wine Advocate: 95/100
The Block 6 Shiraz comes from centurion vines plated in 1896. The 2006 Block 6 Shiraz has a very deep garnet color going a little brick in the rim and an evolved, earthy / gamey nose with notes of mulberries, dried plums, kirsch and tobacco plus menthol, cinnamon stick, licorice and espresso. Rich and full yet elegantly constructed, it presents a medium level of very fine tannins, crisp acid and a long layered finish. A very fine glass now, it should continue to cellar to 2019+
2006 Kay Brothers Amery Vineyards Hillside Shiraz, McLaren Vale
Robert Parker Wine Advocate: 93/100
Deep garnet-black with a hint of brick, the 2006 Amery Vineyard Hillside Shiraz has pronounced notes of smoked game, hung meat, dried plums and kirsch, some cigar boxes, Chinese five spice and mocha. Structured, rich, very full and opulent on the palate is has a medium-firm level of rounded tannins and a long spicy finish. Drinking beautifully now, it has some potential to evolve further and should cellar to 2019+. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown)
