Written Notes

100 Year Old Vines Shiraz 2020 ($180) – Dry grown bush vines, more than a century in age, from the Barossa. Hand plunging four times a day and two years maturing in French oak. 5,850 bottles made. 

This is an utterly entrancing Barossa Shiraz. A black maroon hue. Serious concentration here, this is generous, even sumptuous. Plush, with chocolate, leather, mocha and coffee beans. Seamless, intense and with impressive length. Fine, silky tannins, good energy and bright acidity. Love it and no doubt anyone opening a bottle over the next fifteen to twenty years will do so as well. There really is something in old vines. 96.
