| Tasted by smcisaac on 8/30/2019 flawed bottle: Unlike the surprisingly excellent 2000, which was still holding up very well, this bottle simply didn't last. (1097 views) |
| Tasted by Tranquility Base on 10/20/2012 & rated 72 points: Fifteen years old from the cellar. It was probably a little past its prime although after some airing it actually lost the foul tastes and opened up nicely. It never quite got to a greatness level but was a pleasantly aged Shiraz. Started to go south not long after it hit its peak flavor. (4636 views) |
