This leads to a bold, rich and round palate that spoons out a big mouthful of ripe plum and blueberry fruit flavor. Boldly elemental for now with essence-like depth of blueberry fruit at the finish. Smooth long-form tannins. Holds very long. Drinkable now but better after 2024. Screw cap.”\u003cbr\u003eTasted: Oct 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Ned Goodwin MW · 2018 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“11 days on skins resplendent with 22% whole bunches. Ditto the JC, or thereabouts. A more ferrous block, here. I am detecting some Aussie scrub that I didn’t sense when first poured. In the best way! Really aromatic and pulpy, with palate-staining density defied by a lightness of feel. The tannins drive a sumptuous finish, corralling any stray excess. Mulberry, violet, Dr Pepper and a wonderful creaminess that is far from oak-derived. A nostalgic ping with contemporary styling. A manifest of vineyard rejuvenation, historic celebration and future affirmation.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is sourced from a single block of Shiraz planted 49 years ago, grown on ancient dark grey slaty siltstone soils flecked with ironstone, facing south-east at an altitude of 108 metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DC Block is named for Don Cant, the previous owner, and was the first single block wine released from the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety: Shiraz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: McLaren Vale \/ South Australia \/ Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassification: Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 14%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwnership: Stephen Pannell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Screwcap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrinking Window: 2022–2039\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52789988360555,"sku":"SK27711898","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/2018KoomilyaDCBlockShiraz.png?v=1780389520","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/products\/2018-koomilya-dc-block-shiraz-750ml","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
