Kaesler, Old Bastard Shiraz other_regions There is better freshness onThis holds a reductive edge with meaty and toasty spice aromas, as well as dark stones and black fruit. The palate has such smooth, fine and consistent tannins with a long, supple and succulent run of ripe blackberry and dark plum flavors holding fresh. This needs a good decanting to open up and really changes in the glass. Drink or hold.
