Bests Bin O Shiraz 2017

Blocks - 1868 Thomson Family Block, 1966 Bart's Block, 1970 Marcus' Block, 1992 White Gravel Hill Block

"Sweaty, meaty, reductive aromas at first; youthful and bold, fresh and undeveloped. The wine is intense and firm, with a little (pleasant) bitterness in the tannins, bright and bold, youthful and quite solid, in need of some cellar-time. It has very good depth and intensity of flavour. There's a sweet-fruit middle and considerable elegance. It showed more fruit and complexity with airing, including some pepper and a slight balsamic-herb bunchy note. Potential plus. A superb wine in the making." 97 Points, Huon Hooke

Producer Notes:

Our hallmark wine and the backbone of the business, No 0 has been on our label as Best's top wine since we began with the first vintages in the early 1870's. Then labelled as Claret No. 0, and sometimes blended with other varieties, it has always represented the best from Best's. Today our Bin No 0 is always made of Shiraz from our vineyards that produce consistently high-quality fruit.
