The 2024 release is drawn from the Short Flat, NVC, Old Hut and Old Hillside vineyards (average of 50 years), set deep into red clay over limestone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tyrrell’s team are the undisputed masters of classic, mid-weighted Hunter Shiraz, and their work in 2024 is pure class. Handpicked and sorted in the vineyard, the distinct blocks were fermented in open-top vats before spending 14 months maturing in massive 2,700-litre French oak casks. 2024 was one of the earliest harvests on record but the wine they've put together here seems so very at ease with itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has classic Vat 9 notes of dark plum, cracked cacao, and the rocky, earthy edge of the Hunter's red dirt. It delivers intense fruit without ever feeling thick or unctuous, with long-stretch tannins backed by a cool line of acidity that gives the wine superb lift and verve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96+ points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Beautifully fragrant, with high-toned, savoury oak and refined red fruit. There is a gorgeous, ethereal nature to the palate, along with elegant cranberry and cherry flavours and an alluring silkiness. The crescendo of flavour on the finish sets this wine apart. Incredibly long, cleansing and classy.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Toni Paterson MW (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The palate is full-bodied with balanced acidity and firm yet finely structured tannins, giving flavors of plums, graphite, cured meat and dried herbs.
