TASTING NOTES
A blend of shiraz and cabernet from the Hunter Valley, with the shiraz sourced from premium vineyards on the Tyrrell’s property and Moon Mountain vineyard and the cabernet coming from Pokolbin. All of the components were fermented and matured separately until blending. After blending the wine was put back into French oak barriques, 30% of which were new, until bottling. The wine was predominately matured in smaller 225L barriques. As always with Vat 8, we see much darker fruits and some chocolate characters in the wine, along with the extra element of spice from the higher percentage of new oak.

"There will always be discussion about which of the Tyrrell’s reds people like best, and that’s fine. That’s the way it is. We all have our own little circuits that fire in different ways. All I will say, though, is that 4A is easily the wine of the vintage. Full. Stop. Creamy, ripe berries, biscuits and spice, fleshy fruit of fair depth and boysenberry juiciness, a sprinkle of dried herb, fine chalky tannin, and a solid and satisfying finish. Come as you are."

"A quintessential domestic blend. The southern French have been doing it for quite some time too. The one top wine still assembled in small barriques. These impart a clear high note of bitter chocolate, mocha and vanilla-espresso. Otherwise, blackcurrant, lilac, anise, graphite and fecund Hunter earth. Terracotta tannins, long and emphatic, auguring well for a long life. Lots of adolescent fruit and jangly structural ribs. These will gel in time."
