Description

Johnno’s planted in 1908 on sandy alluvial soils, and thus, quite different to the other Tyrrell’s reds. Tannin profile from vines grown in sand is quite distinct for those that come from red dirt. It’s a bit of a dark horse, most often. Raised in a single new 2700L French cask.

A bit autumnal and earthy, little black pepper and clove spice, maybe some liquorice. A sandy chew to tannin, blue fruit, quite a peppery finish, but heaps of character, and it could only be from the Hunter. Acidity a little orange and orange rind-like, but really good all the same. 93 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
