Product Description:

“The 22-year old Tawny" is a blend of some fantastic individual components. I've been topping up the old base blend with a little more 25-year-old Barossa Grenache, Shiraz and Touriga port and a few other bits and pieces I have lying around. It shows the old Solera system works well, in maintaining our high standard consistently good 22-year-old Tawny. Plenty of rich, rancio, butterscotch flavours and fine drying oak tannins, warm alcohol and fantastic length of flavour.Take one sip and the flavours just last. This wine is truly great stuff!

"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2013 Shiraz Old Bastard has a slowly emerging, complex nose of incense, cloves, star anise, tar, underbrush and earth with a blackberry and blackcurrant core plus a touch of wild thyme. The big, full, opulently fruited palate delivers tons of flavor layers and wonderful structure with firm, rounded tannins and a racy acid line supporting the generous fruit through the very long finish. Drink: 2017-2035. (Jun 2016)"

“Spice and herb driven complexity is the order of the day, with scents of violets lending an exotic note to the aromas. It is mouth-filling and palate coating but wonderfully balanced, picking up hints of black olive and espresso on the lingering finish.”
