Special Offer: 2008 Kaesler Old Bastard Shiraz Barossa Valley

Fabulous old vines here. Enticing rich nose of vanilla, mocha, blackberry and liquorice notes. The attack is rich and full but with perfectly balanced acidity. The tannins are supple the length super long and intense. The palate is refine with supple vanilla, spice, blackberry / black raspberry fruit flavours and more liquorice with a savoury spice flavours. Impressive rich red with excellent concentration and balance. A superb bottle of wine, the Old Bastard is considered the flagship shiraz at Kaesler. It is sourced from a 114 year-old vineyard and the fruit is aged for 19 months in new and one year old French oak.

Description

“The 2008 Old Bastard is 100% Shiraz off 115 year old bush vines. Very deep purple-black colored, the nose is youthfully mute giving subtle notes of damp soil and underbrush over a floral scents, dark cherries, crushed blueberries, mulberries, nutmeg, allspice and a whiff of cardamom. With coaxing, aromas of chocolate and menthol emerge. The palate is very full-bodied and richly fruited with a high level of enlivening acid, firm, very finely textured tannins and a long mocha and baking spice finish.”
