A fine Wolf Blass?

A few years ago I was drinking the yellow label Wolf Blass and it was ok, drink it and forget it. Then I had a white label bottle which I realised, after opening and tasting it, that I shouldn’t have. It was very good and if I had waited it would have been even better. At £40 a bottle it should have been saved for a special occasion according to the wife.

Now I have tried the Wolf Blass Langhorne Cab Shiraz 2013. Its not quite up to the quality of the white label but its good, very good. Its pretty smooth with decent structure, firm tannins and red fruit. Its a medium bodied wine which should be drunk with food, meat or tomato, something that will balance the tannins. Leave it for a 5-10 years or even a little longer to soften those tannins.
