Drink 2025–2048
The 2023 Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz is a product of the beautiful year that birthed it. It is ripe and silky and seamless already. All the components fit together without edges. Perfectly resolved tannins are bedded in a garden of rose petals, graphite, petrichor, raspberry pip, curls of blood orange rind, tobacco and even a hint of something earthy... mossy. It's great. Truly one of the greats, alongside the 2018, in the context of this tasting. This is a ripper wine; it's inchoate but blue chip. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
The 2018 vintage of the Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz is the best vintage of this wine made to that date. This 2023 may in time see this as being the best Graveyard ever made. For those lucky enough to have both vintages in the cellar, it's all the same to us—these are great wines with long futures ahead of them.
