11 Years of Bottle Age — Teusner Big Jim from One of the Barossa's Most Celebrated Boutique Producers

The 2014 Teusner Big Jim Shiraz is one of the Barossa's most celebrated boutique Shiraz expressions, now 11 years in bottle and drinking superbly.

My Wine Man on Teusner

Kym Teusner is one of the Barossa's most celebrated boutique winemakers. Big Jim is Teusner's flagship Shiraz, named for one of the Barossa's most respected old-vine growers and sourced from some of the valley's most storied dry-grown vineyards.

Tasting Notes

Deep crimson with developing complexity. Dark plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, mocha, leather and a touch of clove. The palate is full-bodied with ripe velvety tannins and a long, generous finish.

Style & Drinking Window

Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Drinking beautifully now and through 2030. Decant 1 hour.

Food Pairing

An aged old-vine Barossa Shiraz deserves the finest beef. We love it with Australian Grass-Fed Cape Grim Rib-Eye Steak from My Meat Man — dry-aged and char-grilled medium-rare with bone-marrow butter, a magnificent match for Big Jim's dark plum, mocha and velvety old-vine Barossa tannins.
