Label reads: "Winemaker's Selection Vintage 1978 Vat 11 Founded 1858 Tyrrell's Hunter River DRY RED Estate Bottled Tyrrell's Vineyards Pty. Ltd. Pokolbin N.S.W. - Produce of Australia Murray D Tyrrell Winemaker D2404 This wine was made from Hermitage grapes from our old four and eight arce vineyards, picked in perfect condition and slightly riper than Vat 9. It was matured only in old French Oak Casks and is a big full bodied wine showing rich ripe fruit character, deep colour and a firm well balanced acid and tannin finish. It shows distinctive earthy Hunter character on the nose and a comparatively high alcohol level. I believe this to be a great wine that will mature into a soft old Hunter style and will require long cellar ageing."
