2006 Langmeil Hangin Snakes Shiraz

Posted on 22 May 2011.

The Australian Langmeil Hangin Snakes Shiraz is a solid effort without a lot distinctive characteristics despite its pedigree. Brambly fruit aromas mingle with spice then it stops. I was expecting more. Hype for this one in the press was impressive enough for me to plunk down my own cash to taste it. Better luck next vintage – maybe you should keep the snakes away from the grapes and see how that works out. ~Marc Hinton

Rating: 86 | $18 | 14.5% ABV

Have you tried their Barossa Valley Shiraz? I think this one is impressive.

I had the hanging snakes – not bad but not great but I’ll give the Barossa Shiraz a try.
