2021 Brand & Sons Old Town Single Vineyard Shiraz

Midnight black heart with a dark red hue. Elevated blackberry and liquorice aromas mix with dark chocolate, vanillin cedar, earth and hints of mint. Rich succulent blackberry and liquorice fruits carry medium to full body weight with vanillin cedar, subtle earthy dark chocolate and spicy mint the back drop. Nicely fleshed feel and a fine grained tannin structure with a long, generously fruited and refined finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 14%

Other Reviews…..
Only 300 dozen made of this fascinating Coonawarra Shiraz. It hails from an unirrigated 1.5 acre block, planted in the early 1950s. Maturation was for 14 months in French oak, 20% new. Vibrant maroon in colour, this is a wine of depth and concentration. There are notes of dry herbs, bay leaves, chocolate, spices and black fruits backed by tightly wound quality oak which is integrating well. The palate exhibits a move to soy and darker chocolate with even a hint of vegemite. There is good focus through to a very fine silky tannins. It will drink well for a decade with ease. Drink 2023-2033.
