The Story

The 1860s vines Shiraz (from a small patch of 1/2 hectare ungrafted pre-phylloxera) is amongst some of the oldest direct producing Shiraz vines in the world. The wine is both a curio and an experience. The fruit is handpicked and fermented in century old oak vats before maturation in French oak for 18 months. The label design harks back to an original Tahbilk wine label used during the 1870s, although the 1979 vintage was the first of this rel...

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle, in an excellent condition and has bottom neck level. Colour is purple, and looking bright, deep and youthful . On the nose it is youthful, opulent, tempting and forward. The taste is round, powerful, silky, ripe, vigor, focused, full-bodied and with balanced structure. The finish is long, extensive, lingering, pure and spicy. This wine is sexy, beauty and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least over 4h before tasting.
