From vines planted in 1893, Kaesler's 2010 Old Bastard Shiraz continues to evolve at a glacial pace. It hints at raspberry and mint on the nose, then delves deep into dark chocolate. Full-bodied, dense and nearly fudge-like in its intensity and perception on the palate, it remains potent and long on the finish.

Velvety, round and beautifully focused, lifting its blackberry, currant and delicate spice profile into the long, expressive finish. Powerful, but not weighty. Best from 2014 through 2020. 500 cases made, 150 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Barossa / Barossa Valley Select to Add
