Medium garnet-purple colored, the 2012 Shiraz Old Bastard (in refrence to the 1863 vines that produce this wine) reveals a complex, enticing nose of red and black fruits - mulberries, red currants and cherries - with nuances of sandalwood, dried roses, underbrush, Provence herbs and star anise. Medium to full-bodied, it is maturing with great elegance and grace on the palate, offering multilayered earth, spice and fruit flavors supported by very fine-grained tannins and balanced freshness, finishing with excellent length. eRobertParker.com

A baby. Let's see it in 10 years. Good acidity, freshness, dark fruit, spice and mocha.

Liked the Yarra Yering better especially when I can buy two of them for this. But this is a solid Shiraz!
