Kaesler Old Bastard Shiraz 1998
750 ml Syrah South Australia, Australia 1998
Kaesler Old Bastard Shiraz 1998 is a dry, full-bodied red from Syrah (McLaren Vale, Australia), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are firm and acidity moderate; oak influence is some. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 28-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with lamb, beef stew, steak, venison.
