Mount Pleasant 'Old Paddock and Old Hill' Hunter Valley Shiraz 2019 14.0% 6x75cl

"This is very good. Sumptuous of flavour, floral and lifted and juicy in the mouth. Delicious. Lilac, pastille, star anise, rosewater and jubilant red- and blue-fruit accents (growing darker with air) mingle and shimmy across a succulent mid-weighted palate. Some Hunter suede and terracotta, too. The oak, an addendum, barely detectable. Impressionable energy and stellar length. Very impressive." (James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion)

Sourced exclusively from the Mount Pleasant Old Paddock and Old Hill vineyards, this shiraz blend has been made since the mid-1960’s using vines dating back to 1880.

Deep dark red black tinged colour with a vibrant dark red hue. Nosing offers up aromas of red to dark cherries, red plum and red liquorice which are intermeshed with scorched earth, hints of graphite and peppered herb notes. 

Medium bodied savoury red cherry, plum and red liquorice fruits make a silky entrance with scorched earth, dried herb and peppered meat characters shining through the back half.

Refined mouth feel with polished yet sturdy tannins extending through to a fresh, impressively elegant and fleshy finish.
