Shared with four new friends at a four course dinner. Nice, full-bodied shiraz. Still very drinkable. Before opening, I thought it would be over-the-hill, but was pleasantly surprised that it was fine. If you are silly enough to still have this in your cellar, open it up and drink and/or share it.

Deep dark purple. Sweet confectionary nose exihibiting ultra-ripe black & blue berries....hmmmm ... make that genetically modified artifical berries. ...Also can smell some baygon! Overcloying sweetness covers up most of the acidity with a slight hint of black perpper heat on the finish. For such a commercial and generic wine like yellow tail, I think it is pretty good. It tasted better with the choc fudge cake.

Deep color, sweet fruity taste, but acid and tannins are gone. If you still have a bottle - consume immediately!

Overwhelmingly spicy. Consumed any other flavors that might have been in there. Nice nose though.
