1998 Best's Great Western Shiraz Bin No 0
Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 13, 2018 - This is a fine old bottle that has really come alive with air. It's got a classic Shiraz violets and eucalyptus/American oak nose with plummy fruit and savory balsamic aromas. Still robust but nicely resolved with a clear-running texture, there's a rusty edge to the tangy currant fruit with more eucalyptus and creosote notes. 13.5% abv in a ripe year, which is like 0.77 Mollydookers.
