Bin 0 has been made continuously since the 1890’s and was regarded as the premium Shiraz from Bests until they introduced the Thomson Family Shiraz (first made in 1992). A Thomson Family Shiraz was not produced in 2009 so the best Shiraz from the estate went into this wine. The colour was a very dense Ruby. Dusty dried plums on the nose together with black pepper and spices. The palate has latent energy - self contained power, yet to reveal all of itself but remains opulent. Amazing how good this wine is considering the late heatwave conditions in this vintage in the Grampians. Possibly saved by the inclusion of old vine material from the 1860s which would normally go into the Thomson Family Shiraz. A great wine, still with a long future, easily through to the end of this decade. My first of 3. Next in a few years 2027? — 5 months ago

Tensley P2KV Thomson Vnyds is a unique Syrah from Joe Tensley. This is a serious great stuff!!!
Crazy beautiful aromas of flowers, is so smooth that takes you to the top Syrah’s in the northern part of Rhône, definitely the mouthfeel is what takes you to the next level of an amazing balance, moderate acidity and tannins. Great structure as overall. If you find one, do it hesitate to get it, you will love it. — 17 hours ago
