2020 Kaesler The Bogan Shiraz

Sourced from vineyards planted in 1899 and 1965 with maturation taking place in 30% new French oak for 16 months. The two vineyards complement each other well – The older Marananga block provides more bluer fruit whilst the Nuriootpa block delivers fruit that leans towards the black end of the flavour spectrum.
Impenetrable inky black heart with a very deep dark red black hue. Wafting through the nostrils are heady scents of dark plum, liquorice, blackberry and hints of blueberry followed by vanillin cedar, earth and peppered fennel notes. Rich spicy dark plum, liquorice and blackberry fruits flood the mouth. Full bodied and opulently textured, notions of toasty vanillin cedar, ripe blueberry, subtle dark chocolate and pepper sit underneath. Velvety yet sturdy tannin structure with surprising freshness and a log succulent conclusion.
Drink over the next 8-10 years.
