  Showing it's age but still delivers a moderate amount of fruit with some spice in teh middle. Good finish, if a bit lighter that it would have been a while back. Drink it now if you still have it.

  This wine is possibly past it's best. Deep red color but limited nose and mouth feel. To me more like a lighter Merlot taste than full bodied Cab Sauv Shiraz - so disappointing. But that said the wine is pleasing and I like tasting wines that are 10+ years old. However I preferred a 2008 Molly Dooker Maire D' which I had yesterday.
  Taste after 15min - definite improvement. Nose still weak but flavors improving ( not a temperature issue - as stored at rom temperature). I raised score from 87 to 89.
