Ox Hardy 1891 Ancestor Vines Shiraz 2013

A superb example of aged McLaren Vale Shiraz that is still youthful and with a long future ahead. Superb purity of primary fruits including fruit pastilles and blackberries with chocolate, cocoa and liquorice highlights. The palate is dense, mouth filling and powerful with a core of mouthcoating tannins supporting robust dark fruits with attractive aged nuances starting to build in the form of caramel oak and dried spices. Balance is pinpoint with a long and strong finish. Best yet under this label and very special indeed.
