Two Hands, Angels Share 2006, Long Finish!

Continuing on the hedonistic theme of the holiday's, I had the pleasure of trying the Two Hands Angels Share 2006 on New Years. If Angels do share, I would imagine this is the stuff they have stocked away in their cellar. This wine had a finish that simply wouldn't finish! You can take a sip, watch a half-hour sit-com and still be tasting it afterwards. The length of the finish reminded me a little of the Bugs Bunny classic "Long Haired Hare", where he holds the singers final note for over a minute.

The price is higher than I normally go at $24 (on sale at WineLegend), but if you're looking to splurge a little and not be disappointed, try this for a tipple.

WA: "The 2006 Shiraz “Angel’s Share has an expressive perfume of cedar, wood smoke, leather, pencil lead, pepper, and blueberry muffin. Velvety-textured and ripe, it has outstanding depth and length and a harmonious personality. Drink it over the next 6-8 years. Two Hands is a negociant operation run impeccably by Michael Twelftree. It reflects the best that can be sourced from all over South Australia."

Cheers!
