St Hallett Old Block Shiraz 2018 3 Packs $231 Delivered ($77/Bottle) @ Cellar One (Free Membership Required)

120

Introducing the inaugural Triple Treats three pack! This pack contains 3 x 750ml 2018 St Hallett Old Block Shiraz. Cellar One member exclusive. Free to join.

Since its inception in 1980, the focus for Old Block has been to showcase the rare and ancient vines of the Barossa. To qualify for Old Block Shiraz, vineyards must be planted on their own rootstock and be older than 40 years of age.

These ancient vines produce small crop levels, resulting in seamless wines of complexity and longevity

This wine has intense ruby colour with purple hues. A complex and elegant nose with hints of dark fruits, rich dark chocolate and cinnamon spice. A vibrant and elegant wine on the palate, it offers rich fruit notes of satsuma and damson plums with layers of rich dark chocolate, and complex spices of cinnamon, cedar oak with hints of black pepper and nutmeg. The wine has a long and well-defined acid backbone, with a harmonious and long finish.

FOOD MATCH- Aged eye fillet

PEAK DRINKING - Will reward careful cellaring for 20+ years

    • Can you please provide who issued these scores? (and an actual reviewer name if possible)

      • From Mike Bennie on The Wine Front:

        I know I have said something about this before, but surely Old Block as a name infers a single parcel of fruit – of course this wine is a blend of best old vine material from Barossa Valley and Eden Valley sources. Old Block(s)? Or is it a ‘chip off the old…’. Anyways.

        This is a full flavoured and supple red. It feels inky and very rich, dark fruited, a lift of raspberry, layered with woody spice and seasoned with black pepper, cedar and clove, Chinese five spice. Lush. It’s well balanced in its elements, pulses with brushed velvet texture and finishes with a pucker of chalky tannin and bright, lemony acidity. The finish a quibble at this stage. Mellow in its gait, mouth-staining and ample, it feels pedigree as it does complex as it does bold. Well done, here.

    97 Points - The Vintage Journal
    "Deep crimson. Glossy and polished with beautiful blackberry, dark cherry inky, graphite aromas with mocha/ dark chocolate notes. Well balanced wine with lovely pure blackberry pastille, dark cherry fruits, fine slinky tannins, very good mid palate richness and attractive roasted chestnut complexity. Finishes cedar/ claret firm and juicy. A very expressive but not overly powerful Barossa Shiraz with the definition and torque for long term aging. All the elements in balance but keep for a while to allow the fruit, acidity, tannin and oak to fold. Average age of vines is 96 years. Drink 2025 – 2040 14.5% alc"

    95 Points - The Real Review
    "Deep red with a tinge of purple, very good colour for its age; it has a reserved nose of savoury developing aromas, a trace of dried spices, the palate soft and round, with mellow red fruit flavours, deliciously supple and fleshy, with a nice touch of sweet fruit at the heart, beautifully harmonised with fine grained tannins. Long carry. Lovely drinking now and for several years hence."

  • Brilliant price. I remember when it was this price frequently ~2yrs ago. Bargain back then, even more so now.

    Too bad my fridge is full and my wife will kill me. Better get drinking to make room

    • @PCHammond A Wednesday night is always a good place to start.I had an AFD yesterday so, due a drink for Hump Day :-)

  • If you want more St Hallett and not after just the Old Block: https://distinctionwines.com.au/products/dtc-mix-sth-shz-6p-…
    MIXED10 will get a further 10% off.
    They have the 3x Old Block 2018 too but for $324 after the code.
    Might be cheaper if you sign up to DW but I don't have an account so can't check.
