2003 Kaesler “Old Bastard” Shiraz that is.


Reid BoswardÂ’s back label notes read:


Colour: Dense bastard

Nose: Tight bastard. As a young wine the fruit and oak are trading blows on a weekly basis. The fruit will prevail in a TKO in about round 11.

Palate: Solid Bastard.


Pretty funny I thought!

Only trouble is 2003 was a Bastard of a Vintage.

...... and it's a Bastard of a Price!!!!

Will you bastards stop bitchin'

All guests are Bastards. Not all guests are Old Bastards

And she yelled at the top of her lungs...

"Bastardo Bastardo Bastardo"


from the rooftops.

Bastard of a price to be sure but worth having the odd bottle in the cellar. Lucky me has tried the 2004 from barrel twice and it's stunningly good so save up for it.

I like Reid's humour, anyone who produces a wine called The Bogan just because he can gets my vote. I haven't persuaded him to do a white called The Mullet yet but I'll suggest it yet again next visit.
