August 30, 2019 - Unlike the surprisingly excellent 2000, which was still holding up very well, this bottle simply didn't last.
October 20, 2012 - 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.
September 16, 2009 - Wine was very tired and near end of life. Had a funk upon opening that decreased with time out of the bottle.
December 31, 2006 - A nice brick red color. Plum and leather nose. Black cherry, salt and plastic notes. Short finish with slight tannins.
March 27, 1999 - rich silky black berry with soft tannins & long finish
January 15, 1999 - 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.
