Voyager Estate Shiraz 1999

Voyager Estate Shiraz 2001
Jeremy’s score 94/100Pungent, meaty and spicy aromas of raspberries and red cherries, mulberries and cassis are earthy and slightly reductive. Cedar/vanilla oak is scented and perfumed with white and black pepper, cloves and nutmeg. Robust, leathery palate revealing evolved, complex and meaty animal hide flavours, clearly made in a rustic, Rhne-like style of some conviction. Firm and smooth, framed with supple, fine tannins.

Voyager Estate Shiraz 2003
Jeremy’s score 94/100Firm, long and structured Margaret River shiraz with genuine cellaring potential. Its deep, dark and densely packed aromas of cassis, plums and blackberries reveal nuances of briar, smoke and a hint of undergrowth. A sumptuous palate of perfectly ripened shiraz fruit soaks up its assertive new oak, while its tannins are both fine and astringent.

Voyager Estate Shiraz 2004
Jeremy’s score 90/100A balanced and well made shiraz whose deeply spiced, peppery fragrance of sweet red and black berries, cassis, plums and sweet vanilla/cedar oak reveals musky undertones of animal hide and a tomatoey aspect. Polished by smart new oak, its long and firmish palate delivers tightly focused but slightly sharp-edged, tomatoey and herbal fruit and smart new oak framed by firmish, fine tannins.

Voyager Estate Shiraz 2005
Jeremy’s score 95/100A sumptuous, smooth and polished Margaret River shiraz that avoids the excessively tomato-like and greenish elements not uncommon with shirazes from this region. Its slightly meaty and gamey aromas of cassis, violets, dark chocolates and cedar are lifted by a viognier-enhanced floral perfume. Framed by firm, pliant tannins, it is long and lavishly oaked, expressing a luscious, meaty and powerfully accentuated shade of dark berry/plum flavour. Finishing with a lingering core of fruit and licorice-like spices, it’s very balanced and savoury.

Voyager Estate Shiraz 2006
Jeremy’s score 95/100Fine-grained and savoury, with a smoky fragrance of cassis, blackberries and raspberries with peppery, spicy undertones handsomely backed by spicy, perfume French oak. Its smooth, cultivated palate of piercingly fresh and alluring cherry/plum fruit knits tightly with smoky oak and polished, crunchy tannin. It finishes long and vibrant, with a lingering meatiness.

Voyager Estate Shiraz 2007
Jeremy’s score 89/100Savoury, polished and measured, this shiraz reveals dusty, peppery and spicy aromas of delicate red and black berries, tomato stalk and dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied, itÕs finely made but has morphed into a typically rather exaggerated and obvious Margaret River shiraz with a sweet, forward presence of tomatoey berries and plums tightly knit with seasoned cedar/vanilla oak, backed by spicy notes of licorice and cloves and underpinned by fine, bony tannin.
-
Voyager Estate Shiraz 2008
Jeremy’s score 92/100Deep, dark and savoury, with a concentrated, jujube-like aroma of intense cassis, blackberries, dark plums and chocolate/cedar oak lifted by a whiff of black pepper and spice and revealing briary, smoky undertones of mocha and vanilla. Supported by firmish, loose-knit tannins, itÕs densely packed with flavours of black berries, cassis, raspberries and plums, with undertones of blueberries and fresh cedar/mocha oak. It finishes spicy, savoury and slightly mineral, with a distinct herbal edge.
-
Voyager Estate Shiraz 2009
Jeremy’s score 93/100Very spicy and silky-smooth, with slightly exaggerated aromas of red cherries, pepper and spice, plus a fragrant lift from newish chocolate/cedar oak. Tightly knit with smoky mocha oak, its intense red berry, cassis, and plum-like fruit is underpinned by suggestions of tomato stalk and fine, dusty, powdery tannins, finishing finely balanced, with genuine length of fruit, structure and fresh acids.
-
Voyager Estate Shiraz 2010
Jeremy’s score 95/100Laced with violet-like, spicy and peppery aromas, this finely balanced and structured shiraz is steeped in scents of cassis and blackberries backed by fine-grained chocolate/cedary oak. ItÕs measured, elegant, sweetly fruited and handsomely oaked palate is underpinned by fine, silky tannin, bursting with pure dark berry/plum fruit before finishing long and pure, with a lingering blueberry and licorice-like note.
