2020 Kay Brothers Amery Vineyards Block 6 Shiraz 750ml

Kay Brothers Block 6 vineyard produces an iconic, 126-year-old Shiraz wine from complex soils of red loam, clay and gravely alluvial soil. The underlying geology is "South Maslin Sands" containing layers of glauconite, limestone, sandstone and siltstone. This wine is a must-have for any serious wine collector, with the 218 vintage just being released. Critic tasting note: "From very low-yielding 127-year-old vines, this is, in typical Kay Brothers style, a massive, open-weave wine destined for the cellar. The plump plum and red-cherry fruit are ensconced in a lick of cherry cola oak and backed by cumin spice and a note of freshly poured pavement. Tannins are hulking, chalky and dominant, but should integrate with time. The rest is in place for a long life ahead. Drink 2025—2040." - 93/100, Wine Enthusiast
