Tyrrell's Hunter Valley Shiraz 2018

Hunter Valley staple from 5 Red Star Tyrrell's

Established in 1858, Tyrrell’s is “one of the most successful family wineries, a humble operation for the first 110 years of its life that has grown out of all recognition over the past 40”. This is a lovely elegant Shiraz from Hunter Valley icons.
“From dry-grown estate blocks averaging 40yo, fermented in large 2700L used casks. It is spectacular value, and more obvious in all aspects: depth, colour, richness (plum to the fore), tannins (for balance and longevity). There’s no sin in drinking this, but it will still be on the up 20 years from now... 94pts. Great Value” (Halliday).
