Tasting Notes:

Deep dark black with crimson hues. Big explosion of aromas including freshy plum wand black currant with aged characters showing including leather saddle, coffee, chocolate and spice. Powerful fruit flavours despite the obvious age of the wine, there’s a blanket of tannin and oak which all provide the backbone. Plum, liqueur, leather, earth, coffee and smoked meat all perform roles here. A perfect balance between oak and fruit has been achieved and these characters appear to have perfectly melted into one another over time. The tannin structure is long and velvety with the wine having an incredibly long finish.

Technical:

This wine is sourced from a single old vineyard from what we consider one of the finest vineyards in South Australia. 2012 was one of the standout vintages of the last decade. An ideal vintage, which gave us the benefit of perfectly, ripened fruit. The smooth flow of vintage allowed us to select specific fruit parcels and allowed us to define the wine as much in the vineyard as the winery. These grapes are brought into the winery, and crushed into old vats where the fermentation is initiated by “wild” yeasts found on the grape skins. Careful extraction and short post fermentation maceration is followed by soft pressing. The wine is transferred into brand new oak barrels where the malolactic fermentation is completed before racking and maturation for 36 months in barrels. A careful assemblage and barrel selection is followed by minimal filtration and bottling.

Accolades & Awards:

Previous Vintage Reviews;

2008 Vintage Rated 95 Points (Robert Parker's Wine Advocate #212)

"Very deep garnet coloured with some bring in the rim and profoundly scented, the 2008 F.U Shiraz offers a complex nose of dried figs, mulberries, dates and Christmas pudding with suggestions of chocolate box, anise, sandalwood, vanille and potpourri. The palate reveals a well-balanced wine of massive proportions with tons of baking spice and dried fruit layers supported by a high level of chewy tannins and uplifting acid, finishing with epic persistence. Drink it now to 2022+." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown.

2008 Vintage Rated 92 Points (Australian Wine Showcase Magazine)

"Fantastic colour, coupled with powerful, luscious aromas. Has sold varietal flavours with good freshness and nice long finish."

2008 Vintage International Wine Show London

"Dairy, grilled meaty quality; savoury, fully developed. A mouth coating palate, finish won't quit!"

2004 Vintage Rated 99 Points (Jay Miller - Wine Advocate)

"The 2004 F.U. Shiraz is similarly brooding and liqueur-like. It spent 30 months in new French oak hogsheads and offers a compelling bouquet of toasty oak, pencil lead, mineral, blueberry and blackberry. Lighter on its feet then The Wine with a more forward personality, it has layers of flavour, savoury fruit, and enough silky tann to evolve for a decade. Drink it from 2014 to 2034."

2006 Vintage Jay Miller from Wine Advocate gave it 96-99 Points but that was a barrel tasting. Looks like it sold for US$300 a bottle. I am guessing it came out of an investment portfolio here, and the usual outcome is that it's the investor who gets creamed so it probably is a good buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dorian from The Beat Shiraz ever tasted Purchased six bottles on the recommendation written and I can say honestly, the very best shiraz I have ever had. Thoroughly outstanding and wish I had bought a few more cartons to cellar away

Rated 5 out of 5 by Neil from Good Wine with great price I bought 2 case 2010 and love it, so now got to try the 2012. I plan to celler these wines for 5-10 years and wish more surprise.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Barone from Great with Beef This is a great wine. It has all you want from a full-bodied red - nose, colour and intensity and finally smooth finish on the palate. It suits beef or game, but may overpower something lighter (such as veal or duck). Expensive? Not for this level of quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JD64 from Superb A beautiful wine that is excellent value for money

Rated 5 out of 5 by Johnny Mac from Bliss! I buy this wine every time it comes up. In my opinion, it is the best value available online or anywhere else for that matter. I've got 2008 (not many left), 2010 and 2012. Luscious, viscous fruit, long on the palate and smooth tannins.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Intangible from Simply Outstanding Fu is my favourite Shiraz without doubt. It punches way above its price weight which is lucky for my partner and I because we love it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ESA1 from Excellent McLaren Vale Shiraz I am normally a Barossa shiraz drinker but when I purchased Fu, I was pleasantly surprised. Not often that I come across a quality McLaren Vale shiraz, will only improve will cellaring for another 3-5 years.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Toadster22 from Ready to drink I have bought FU over the last few years and loved it. This release is very tasty and ready to drink now or over the next couple of years. Beautiful flavour, dark in colour but short on the pallet. Therefore not a 5star rating this time around.

Rated 4 out of 5 by jaybee from Smooth wine but needs to be cellared A wine to enjoy now but would be even better with a few more years in the cellar.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Shiraz_man from A big difference comparted to earlier vintage. Just bought 6 bottles to try about a week ago. The style seems to have changed. The company on the label is now different. Not sure if it is made by a different vintner.
