This remarkable wine was showcased during a special event held before the Pinot Massif gathering, which brought together numerous winemakers at Mitchelton in Goulburn Valley, Victoria. Michael Dhillon, known for his work at the esteemed Bindi winery, introduced the Mitchelton Cabernet Shiraz 1973. This wine, the first ever crafted at Mitchelton by Colin Preece, highlighted a rich history; it had remained in the Dhillon family cellar since Bill Dharshan Dhillon Singh acquired it in 1974, until its debut at 51 years old in its birthplace.
Tasting notes reveal that this wine is warm, mature, and richly harmonious, reflecting considerable elegance. It possesses subtle herbal notes, a pleasing warmth, and demonstrates a beautiful expressiveness. Despite not being overly heavy, it showcases impressive drinkability and elegance, maintaining some fruit flavor. The experience of savoring a wine with such historical significance, now perfectly aged, is indeed a delightful journey into vinous heritage. It received a score of 95/100.
