Old Bastard Shiraz 2017 Kaesler

Professional reviews

James Suckling (95)

From a single parcel of 1893 vines on the estate. The cooler-vintage expression here has pulled the nose into a more black-fruit zone with licorice and dark plum, as well as iodine and tarry, dark-stony aromas. Some leafy, herbal nuances here, too. The palate has a very smooth, glossy and quite elemental feel. Seamless, long black-fruit and blue-fruit flavors, set amid silky, ribbon-like tannins.
