[SOLD-OUT] Kay Brothers Block 6 Shiraz 1999

Robert Parker 95 points!


"The 1999 Block 6 boasts layers of concentration, huge body, and massively extracted blackberry and cassis fruit intermixed with leather, animal fur, and licorice. There is a lot going on in this blockbuster, broodingly backward, yet super-concentrated Shiraz. It represents the best of McLaren Vale in a very traditional sense. This cuvee often shuts down after bottling, re-emerging in 4-5 years, and lasting for two decades. There are 450 cases produced of this estate's flagship wine. Walking past these 108-year old vines, I was amazed by their gnarled character (even though I have seen plenty of ancient vines in southern France). Anticipated maturity: 2004-2018."
