The 2022 Black Label Old Vines Shiraz is intense and black fruited, with cassis and blackberry, mulberry and graphite, dark chocolate and a hint of mint fondant, blueberries and rose petals. It's a beautiful wine, made from fruit grown on vineyards planted between the 1890s and the 1920s. The tannins are a particular highlight, as they are chalky and chewy. Very good. 13.1% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
Score: 93 points -- Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate, 2024
