Old Vine Shiraz 2023

This Shiraz is just getting started. In the glass, it’s a dark, rich purple, brooding yet inviting. The nose brings a cooler-climate edge—raspberry brightness meets mulberry depth, all lifted by a whisper of cooking spice. The palate? Pure energy. Fresh raspberry takes the lead, bouncing with vitality, framed by fine tannins that promise a long, graceful evolution. Right now, it’s a baby—eager, excitable—but the structure and poise suggest this one’s in for the long haul. Give it time, or don’t. Either way, it’s a ride worth taking.
