2014 Tyrrell's Vat 9 Shiraz

97 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

“This is a super Vat 9. The best since the miraculous 2007. NB: Private Bin members price is $60. Textbook clean Hunter Shiraz - sweet mixed berry fruit, subtle perfume of vanilla and violet florals, slight licorice richness. So beautiful, so svelte and composed, medium bodied, supple juicy fruited, superb milk chocolate tannin, super length. Depth. Seduction. Superlatives. One out of the box. A true flagship. Will keep for as long as you want to keep it. (Drink between 2018-2040) (97+ pts)”

97 Points - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion

“This is stellar. The length, the breadth, the form, the immaculate rollout of tannin. It shows cherry plum, earth, violet and spice but the sum of such humble parts is so much more than that. Milk chocolate from oak simply goes with the flow. We stand in the presence of something resembling greatness. Special. Closure: Screwcap. 13.9% alcohol. AUD$85 (Drink by 2040)”

95 Points - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com

“A seamless wine that's very refined, elegant and gently profound, this has a pristine red- and dark-fruited nose that also shows some licorice and gentle spices. Bright, fine tannins frame a juicy, long-term wine. Effortless power; this will live for a very long time. Best from 2025.”
