2018 Tyrrell's Vat 9 Shiraz 750ml Bottle

"Often, in the scurry for the ‘yellow label’ wines, I think people forget quite how good Vat 9 is. This year, it’s a mixed cask of NVC and 8 Acres, with the bulk coming from Weinkeller and Contours (Short Flat).
Red and black fruits, sweet liquorice and milk chocolate on the sly, spice and plenty of perfume. Medium-bodied, fresh blackberry, lively, powerful, succulent and smooth, creaminess to the tannin, a chocolate and velour deluxe kind of feel, bright boysenberry acidity, and heaps of length. A very fine Vat 9. One for the ages. Drink 2022-2040" Gary Walsh
