The youthful colour, the flavours, tannins and acidity all come from a small sandy rise immune to the ravages of phylloxera. The inclusion of a small amount of new French oak has lifted the opening stanza, and the vintage conditions were considered to be among the best for many years. Its value cannot be adequately measured in points. *Gold*

The Tahbilk 1860 vines is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, commercially producing vineyards on the planet. Grown on their own roots in sandy marshland these vines have survived floods, storms, fires, and disease for over 164 years. Astounding. Equally amazing is the wine they produce. This is nothing like the Shiraz you would expect from down under. At a mere 13.5% abv, the wine is aromatically driven with cassis, mint leaf, forest floor, and black truffle. It receives an additional 5 years in bottle before release, but is still structurally poised with rigid tannin that will require a decant in the near term, but crafted for the cellar. Only 24 bottles imported to the US.
