  Getting old, but still very good.

  Well past its drinking best but still quite lively. Brownish colour and heaps of brandy tones on the nose. Some fruit but mainly earthy, leathery and lingering. Have a '99 to try next.

  Still drinking magnificently despite its 18 years.
  Deep inky colour, lovely mouth coating but still some acidity to lift the palate. Lots of dark fruit, nice spice too and a very long finish.
  Sad it's the last of the line for us ....but younger siblings await!

  Dinner for Simon and Allison (Ponsonby, Auckland, New Zealand): Big and rich - certainly the product of a warm vintage. Resolved tannins, but still comes across as young. Coconut American oak adds a warm background to the very complex fruit and tertiary character. Beautifully modulated and silky smooth. This is a wonderful Aussie shiraz.

  NobleRottersSydney - Mostly Torbreck magnums (360 Bar & Dining, Sydney): {cork, 14%} (Ronnie) This was brought just as a contrast to the Barossa Torbrecks, and would it be rude to say I think I preferred it to all of them? Showing a little age, but still offering plenty of spiced blackberry, earth and sandalwood aromas. Similar palate; savoury and polished; dry, with medium dusty tannins, medium/full body and a classy seasoning of French oak. There’s a better balance of fruit and acid/tannin structure here than the preceding wines. Even palate, with presence all along the tongue; medium-long finish; great Victorian shiraz with another decade ahead of it at least. Really good.
