This is Tyrrell's flagship red wine, from probably the oldest Shiraz block in the Hunter Valley. Yesterday, I tasted the 2018 Tyrrell's Old Patch Shiraz. The wine has beautiful fruit purity. Plum, blueberry, and some emerging leather flavours ask for your attention. The fruit weight is medium. The wine delivers a wonderful and typical velvety mouthfeel. The wine is elegant with good intensity, and delivers a long finish on soft tannins.
Good quality Hunter Shiraz as described above offers an attractive third dimension to the powerful South Australian Shiraz and the spicy Victorian Shiraz.
Score: 96/+++
