Tyrrell''s 8 Acres Shiraz

 Tyrrell''s produce four single vineyard wines from vines over 100 years old. The 8 Acres is probably the most accessible early in its life. I tasted the 2019 Tyrrell's 8 Acres Shiraz.

This is a medium-bodied wine, a world apart from South Australian Shiraz. It is red fruited, predominantly cherry flavours. The wine is still very young (screw cap). It has medium concentration, a balanced and elegant mouthfeel. The tannins are soft and fine. The wine lacks a personality statement to make it exceptional.

Score: 93/++
