Tyrrell's Johnno's Shiraz

 In contrast to the other sacred sites, the soil of the Johnno's vineyard is mainly sand.


The 2017 Tyrrell's Johnno's Shiraz is a beautiful, flavoursome, and elegant wine. It is red and blue fruited with some licorice and milk chocolate flavours rounding out an intense and velvety mouthfeel. The flavours reveal themselves in different nuances down the palate towards a long harmonious finish.

The 2017 vintage is quite special. This wine is still very youthful and has many years ahead. I would rate it higher than the 4 and 8 Acre wines. I still have to try the Old Patch from this year (coming to you soon). 

Score: 96/+++
