Kaesler Old Bastard Shiraz 2017 is a highly acclaimed, single-vineyard Shiraz from the Barossa Valley, South Australia, sourced from vines planted in 1893. It is known for its concentration, intensity, and aging potential.
Tasting Note:
Nose: Intense aromas of dark blackberries and plums are layered with notes of licorice, dark chocolate, and mocha. Hints of spice and subtle earthy undertones add complexity.
Palate: Full-bodied and powerful, yet with a sense of elegance. Concentrated dark fruit flavors are supported by silky, well-integrated tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides balance. Notes of coffee and a touch of leafy herbs may also appear.
Finish: Exceptionally long and persistent, echoing the dark fruit and spice notes with a firm structure that suggests excellent aging potential
