Kay Brothers Amery Block 6 Shiraz 2008

Good hue and clarity; the full monty, the vines planted in 1892, the open fermentation vats made in 1897, and an old basket press used. Better still, there are none of the cooked fruit characters of 08, although the regional imprint is clear enough; a really attractive medium-bodied shiraz with great texture and structure.
