Rating: 96 Points (Wine Advocate)
“The 2015 Old Bastard Shiraz, from vines planted in 1893, boasts
ethereal aromas of menthol, licorice, blueberries and roasted meat. It's a big,
full-bodied wine, yet it comes across as lighter than expected, with a fluid,
silky feel on the palate and a bright, peppery finish. A wine of seeming
contradictions, it's concentrated but lively, ripe yet crisp, savory and
fruity, and loaded upfront while being long on the finish. It should drink well
for over a decade.”
