The 2005 Moonambel Shiraz is riper than either wine tasted either side of it (2002 and 2017), and it leads with milk chocolate, plush succulent red and purple fruit, scraped vanilla pod (perhaps the oak?) and lashings of fruit. This is a deeply delicious wine, although I would suggest that the slightly higher alcohol masks some of the more nuanced characters that I saw in some of the earlier vintages. However, what it misses there, it absolutely gains in attractiveness and succulence. This has a saturation of fruit flavor in the mouth. This is a wine of density and delight. 14.3% alcohol, sealed under cork.
