Auswan Creek 1908 Vineyard Centenarian Barossa Valley Shiraz 2019

A single vineyard wine from ancient vines over a century in age, this is a very fine example of Barossa Shiraz. Deep red in colour, we have notes of dark berries, dried fruits, bay leaves, dried herbs, leather and forest floor hints. There is a lovely cold tea/bergamot influence. Good length with the tannins firmer than in some examples. It would be an ideal match for a good steak. This is a wine which is drinking well now, but it would most certainly benefit from a few years, at least, in the cellar. Ten years would be no issue.
