Tyrrell’s Old Winery Shiraz 2024

While Tyrrells are inextricably linked to the Hunter Valley, they have also long been a dominant force in Heathcote and this thoroughly enjoyable Shiraz is mostly sourced from there, with a dollop of Hunter Valley material as well. The colour is a bright vibrant purple. Quite a savoury impression given on the nose, with notes of mushrooms, beef stock, animal skins, warm earth and even a flick of vegemite. Still very youthful obviously, this is most enjoyable now but will look just as good in four to six years. The texture is sleek, the wine balanced, the length good and the tannins very fine. Great value.
