Kaesler, Old Bastard Shiraz Vintage:2004 bilberry and blackberry all apparentSuch a different expression, this vintage saw a lot of split fruit and theres dried berry character on the nose with a distinctive, sanguine, rust like edge. The palate has a very intense tannin core with dense, almost nebbiolo like tannins. Theres nothing aggressive here,. Smooth, fine and condensed tannins. Aging well. Drink or hold.
