teusner barossa albert shiraz 05 is one to cellar

Teusner Albert Shiraz 2005 from the Barossa Valley in South Australia is a keeper – tight and closed when first opened but I retasted this after 24 hours breathing  layers of flavour unravel including aniseed, mint, intense dark fruits, roast meat.You could safely cellar this for 10 years.

Just noticed Campbell Mattinson got excited about this wine too and gave it 95pts in Wine Front Monthly review:

“Monumentally good. Wish I had tasted this when I was doing the TOP 101 REDS – this would have bolted it in. I adore it. It tastes of meat and pepper, rich dark fruits and mint-shot cedar. It carries the style beautifully. There is even a hit of gunpowder-like flavour in there (and I have sucked on a few guns in my time, believe you me – the average winemaker is NOT averse to sticking a gun to my head). Just a great Barossan red – with personality to burn. Drink 2008-2018.”
