Wine lovers musings, amusings and news

Heya everyone

Wynns Coonawarra Estate Black Label Shiraz 2012
I have found a case of this that i bought in 2020 on special., that i forgot about, and its been sitting.in the cupboard

Im thinking of donating it to.friends, or if i put it in the wine fridge for 5 -10 more years, could it turn into.something amazing?

Im not a huge wine drinker so if its a cheap average wine, im happy to pass on it but if cellaring will amazify it, then happy to;)

Personally I would not be cellaring more. Try a bottle. Probably getting past its drink by date.

It should go another decade with ease if stored correctly. Should be drinking well now with time to go.

I'd be more concerned if its just been sitting in a cupboard. If it's got hot in summer fair chance the wine is past it. Only way to tell is crack a bottle and see what it's like. Most importantly, do you like it.
 
It’s an underrated wine IMO, I would not be giving it away but yes, drinking soonish. Not super urgent, it may last a while but I doubt it will get any better.

Halliday said drink by 2032 and 2012 was a good year. If the cupboard temp has been relatively stable it should be lovely. Your friends are lucky!
