Description

Shiraz is king at Kay Brothers and "Block 6" Shiraz is the flagship of this winery.The vines were planted in 1891 and the first wine produced from the vines in this Block was in 1897,so in their 108th year,8.97 tonnes of grapes were handpicked from these gnarled vines,basket pressed and the wine then spent over 2 years in a combination of American and Memel oak casks,prior to bottling.


"The opaque,purple-colored Shiraz Block 6 Amery vineyard is no wimpish wine.Harmonious and well-balanced,with outstanding seamlessness,the 2000 offers up smoky creosote aromas,intertwined with plum,prune,and blackberry scents.Rich,chewy,soft,round,and voluptuous,with noticeable oak,it is a concentrated,delicious,full-throttle South Australia Shiraz. Anticipated maturity: now-2015".
(90-92 Points).

Robert Parker. (The Wine Advocate. #143. October 2002).


A more recent tasting,taken from CellarTracker:-

"I have always loved the Block 6 Shiraz's and the 2000 is no exception.Drinking incredibly young,this wine has many great years ahead of it.Happy to have two bottles left.I would love to serve this blind,as no-one would pick this up as an eleven-year-old Aussie.For all those that think the Aussie Shiraz does not age well,they should try this wine.It would surely change their opinion.A wonderful effort".
(94 Points).
