Château Tanunda 150-Year-Old Vines Shiraz 2022

Needless to say, wines of this age are incredibly rare anywhere, not just in the Barossa Valley. This is a very special wine and one that should be on everyone’s bucket list. Extraordinary to drink a wine from vines planted way back in the 1800s. Inky black in hue with a vibrant maroon rim, this is generous and plush. There is very good extract here, with serious intensity throughout. The nose offers notes of dark chocolate, aniseed, bay leaves, licorice, coffee beans and a touch of black jellybeans. There are bold black cherry notes on the palate and the wine has great length. It finishes with satiny tannins, but is powerful and exciting throughout. A twenty year proposition.
