Color: Dark purple red, with a garnet edge. Nose: Fresh and fruit driven with blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. Some cherry notes on the nose. Palate: A combination of forest fruits with blackberries and mulberries. Savoury aromatic spices of anise and nutmeg with some coffee and chocolate notes. Silky, delicate tannins; good acidity and well balanced. The Old Bastard Shiraz ages beautifully with the berry notes becoming more prominent over time. It has decades to give, cellar up to 20+ years.
