Fireblock Old Vine Shiraz 2007
|
| |
|
|
This is a lovely example of old vine Shiraz from a top vintage. Red to purple, nearly opaque. Intense, tarry Shiraz dominates any oak flavours – the oak only serves to amplify the fruit, and the “tarry” character is indicative of fruit from very old vines. The wide spectrum of Shiraz flavours, with some lovely high tones, distinguishes the higher altitude of the Clare Valley from other warm regions. Full palate and smooth, lasting finish.
It will soften over the next 8 – 10 years, and live for many more.The wine spent 30 days on skins, then fifteen months in mainly French oak, 25% of which was new.
The vines here were reportedly planted in 1928 and I have to say this is a seriously undervalued good wine. Grab a cellar full and celebrate the right choice at the greatest price around! Rates a definite 94/100 and you will love showing this off!
