3/15/2020 - IanAltman Likes this wine: 98 pointsDecanted for 90 minutes. Sommelier says this is the best shiraz he's had. Deep almost black color, dark cherry, fig, incredible balance. This was the favorite wine of the evening. Served with lamb and venison. Flight included this and 2005 Dead Arm. The Dead Arm was great... this was sensational. |

3/27/2010 - 2Travel wrote: 98 pointsChesapeake Wood Duck Inn Weekend. No formal notes. Decanted for about 30 minutes. Served with a too-die-for duck breast, lentils, and spring vegetables with a Port au Jus (best duck ever!). Came after a Autard '07 CdP Cote Ronde. I guess wine can get better than this, and if so, I'm really looking forward to having some! This was spectacular. Last bottle about three years ago was fruity and muscular, and balanced. This was chocolate, espresso, satin, and length. Whereas the CdP went very well with the duck and Port au Jus, this melded with them into an almost spiritual experience (well, OK, we were a couple bottles into the evening). All six of us loved this, and I could hear Jeffery sigh contentedly from the kitchen as well. Grand stuff, and I look forward to seeing where how the other two bottles develop with even more time. |

Well worth the wait. |

12/29/2009 - dpohlman wrote: 98 pointsThis continues to be an amazing wine! Wonderful dark berry, with a bit of vanilla, and a slight hint of oak. It was great as a "pop and pour", but it even became better after about 30 minutes of breathing time. In my opinion, Shiraz does not get any better than this. |

12/3/2011 - dpohlman wrote: 98 pointsEach time I have this wine I am reminded of its amazing structure and finish. It has smoked wood and coffee on the nose, with an initial taste of very distinct dark berries. The finish is very long. It is one of those special wines where you can still remember the flavors and feel of it the next day. I am thrilled to still have 25 bottles remaining in my cellar. I have been buying this one when ever and where ever I can find it! |

6/17/2021 - Ridgerunner Likes this wine: 97 pointsIt i upsetting to think this is this last bottle. So gorgeous. Maybe at its peak... but it did continue to get better, Soft blueberry and boysenberry. Delicate tannins. Rose petal and and a hint of eucalyptus on the nose. |

2/10/2024 - Condrieu82 Likes this wine: 97 pointsI opened the bottle and let it breathe for one hour. Nice ruby color with minimal bricking. Nose is great with plums, blackberries, pout poured, lavender. Zippy acidity, medium/chalky tannins, lots of black fruits - ripe plums, blackberries - dried flowers and coffee grounds then come out to give this depth and complexity. The ending is long, with oak, white pepper, and lingering black fruits flavors. This is stunning, in a great spot now and probably at peak, although there is no rush and it will perhaps even further improve in the next 3-4 years. |

5/23/2010 - dpohlman wrote: 97 pointsThis is my favorite among all Shiraz options! It has a wonderful nose of cherry and vanilla, and these notes flow though to the taste. Some may find it a little soft and mellow, but I think it is amazing. My only regret is that I now only have four bottles of the 2005 vintage remaining. |
