  Ullage into neck. Popped and poured, then drank over 2 hours. Wouldn’t really benefit from decanting. Deep colour hides its real age. Dusty oak and dark fruits. Initially the alcohol came across a touch hot. Great tannin structure. Still standing strong. Should be good drinking for another 2-5 years. Just as good or better than the famed ‘98 vintage. Partner it with a top quality steak on a cold night.

  Awesome shiraz right at its peak. Rich blueberry and blackberry fruit, smooth and well integrated tannin, spicy liquorice, superb match with roast beef. Wish I had more!
