2004 Kaesler Old Vine Shiraz

The grapes for this wine were sourced from 4 different 45 year old vineyards. Opaque black purple colour – a total saturate, with deep purple hue. Aroma of violets, spice, vanilla and blackberry. Mouthfilling flavours of liquorice, blackberry, vanilla and spice. Excellent balance – fine grained tannins with very long aftertaste of dark chocolate, vanilla and spice. A generous, full bodied red. Limited Stocks.
Cellar 4-5 years (2010-2011)
Alc/Vol: 15%

Other Reviews….
The 2004 Old Vine Shiraz (from a vineyard planted in 1961) was aged in 100% French oak. Its opaque purple color is followed by earth, graphite, and melted road tar characteristics as well as a long, full-throttle palate that has more layers, finesse, and concentration than The Bogan.
93-95 points
Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate # 161 (Oct 2005)

Smooth, supple, velvety black fruits; against the majestic power of Old Bastard seems positively elegant; long, balanced palate.
