while the Vecchie Viti is all muscle

smoked earth and spice

the wine has character

As is ever the case with these lighter vintages

Glaetzer, Shiraz other_regions_australia while the Vecchie Viti is(from vines reportedly between 85 and 115 years of age) Inky ruby. Spicy blackberry, cherry and dark chocolate on the nose, with complicating notes of espresso and dried violet. Cool and restrained, with a suave, silky tone to the dark fruit flavors and gentle acids bringing freshness and energy. Nothing overdone here. There's impressive clarity and length to the blackberry and blackcurrant flavors. Really gorgeous. Josh Raynolds
