Tyrrell's Vat 9 Hunter Shiraz 2009
Hunter, New South Wales, AustraliaA mix of the best and oldest from Ashmans vineyard in the Hunter that is all aged in matured large French oak casks. The textures are remarkably suave and glossy, the aromas an enticing mix of electric black fruit and spice. The palate is equally persistent and balanced at even at this young age suggesting cellaring will be rewarded for decades. An excellent shiraz with character and breed for the collector or the impatient eater. Love the elegance here.Tasted: 11 July 2012Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:AB | $61.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
