1998 Mildara Cabernet SauvignonCoonawarra more |
2/28/2024 - DrinkerTrev Likes this wine: 91 pointsGone a 4 rating but it does have issues. Old cigar box nose and palate showing us its age. Cork was fantastic so now issues there. Now 26 years old. Deep red colour without the browning normally associated with very old reds. After a bit of air this developed into a great red. |

1999 Mildara AlexandersCoonawarra Cabernet-Shiraz Blend, Red Blend more |
12/31/2022 - graemeg wrote: NR{cork, 13%} Gorgeous old red. Brick turning tawny hue. Muted nose, just a little leather and forest floor/compost. But always Cabernet. Palate is medium weight, mirror-smooth, with a touch of Coonawarra mint. Mature, leather, moderate acid, beguiling; a lovely old red without aspiring to the top echelons of Bdx. Level still in neck, a swift double-decant just before drinking revealed a fair bit of sediment. Drink now, unquestioningly. Excellent (if short!) cork. Was this the last Alexanders before Mildara killed it off I wonder? |

5/28/2022 - graemeg wrote: NR{cork, 13%} Level still in neck; immaculate cork. Swift double-decant and then drunk. Moderate sediment. Initially reticent nose blossomed with a bit of air; some Coonawarra mint in line with the label heritage, otherwise very curranty and correct. Quite developed and even a touch leathery. Cool, medium weight palate with medium acidity, medium finely dusty tannins, developing curranty fruit; all up it’s an impressive surprise for this most overlooked of Coonawarra labels. Only the slightly attenuated and perhaps simple finish lets it down a little beside more lauded cabernet names here and overseas, but it’s still a fine achievement. On this showing will hold another 5-8 years easy, but without expectation of any more evolution. |

5/26/2022 - Brain Capers Likes this wine: NRWow, cork was toast, but the wine was excellent. Years ago, toured Australia (1984) via bicycle and trains. Met a wonderful couple at the Adelaide Art Museum. We took bikes on train, and toured the Coonawarra winery’s. Purchased in OKC around 1987, $6.49! Yum. |

1988 Mildara Shiraz Coonawarramore |
12/10/2021 - PSPatrick wrote: 90 pointsMedium to light ruby colour. Upon opening, the wine shows fresh red cherry, black currant, blueberry, blackberry, tobacco, and complex spice notes, but the acidity is disintegrated and the wine seems disharmonious. After a few minutes, however, the wine develops a more mature and more harmonious profile of cherry, mixed berries, milk chocolate, light vegetal/wet autumn leaf notes, leather, tobacco, spices, eucalyptus, liquorice, and balsamic notes, with good acidity, fully resolved tannin, and very good length. A medium- to light-bodied Shiraz that is smoothly textured and well-balanced, and drinks well. A little fuller (medium-bodied) and very smooth on day two. At peak. Well-kept bottles should continue to drink well for another few years. |

8/14/2021 - Mic Mac Likes this wine: NRBright colour. Mint cream biscuits and dark chocolate on the nose. Grippy blackberry fruit with less mint on the palate than I was expecting from the nose. Lovely soft grip on the finish and considerable length on the finish. Excellent. No rush. |

9/16/2017 - DrinkerTrev Likes this wine: NRVery soft old red. This is a 19 year old Coonawarra Cab Sav. Tannins have gone and it has an old wine nose and taste. The cork was in great condition. The wine has probably past its peak but a great winter night Red. Colour is still a very good red blackberry and the palate has some remaining spice. |

8/20/2021 - Rote Kappelle Likes this wine: 90 pointsThere may have been some batch variation (which can certainly happen with large production runs like this) to account for the rather varied reviews of this wine on the site. This is a well made cool climate Australian style pitched in the commercial, 'restaurant' market. |

5/7/2021 - Morgan1132 wrote: 88 pointsEnjoyable drop on first impression. Tastes very young. Getting a lot of stalky/herby/capsicum type notes that ended up overwhelming me and wasn't enjoying it much by the end of the second glass. Maybe this would mellow out with a bit more time but the palate didnt have the length to think it would do well in the cellar. Maybe a couple of years bottle age and it would be in a nice middle ground. |

Dark red with no browning, abundant fruit, subtle eucalypt/menthol, faint mint, cedar, luscious body and good length This wine has another 5-8 years left in it easy. 93 |

2/10/2021 - PSPatrick wrote: 86 pointsSweet, ripe, pruny fruit, spices, cinnamon, tobacco, coffee, some chocolate, and balsamic notes, with lively, pronounced acidity and good length. Fuller and richer than I expected. Almost syrupy. Unclean and disjointed. |
