 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. (1090 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. (4630 views)
 Tasted by garetjax_kison on 9/16/2009 & rated 78 points: Wine was very tired and near end of life. Had a funk upon opening that decreased with time out of the bottle. (4833 views)
 Tasted by wineward on 12/31/2006 & rated 83 points: A nice brick red color. Plum and leather nose. Black cherry, salt and plastic notes. Short finish with slight tannins. (5496 views)
 Tasted by SadEdjo on 3/27/1999: rich silky black berry with soft tannins & long finish (5104 views)
 Tasted by mdefreitas on 1/15/1999 & rated 88 points: Dark purple color. Nice nose of licorice and ripe black fruits. Good fruit on the palate, but perhaps the tannins are a bit rough. Medium finish. Good QPR. (4578 views)
