From a 6L. Dark ruby red red. On the intro the wine has a good bump of mint mixed with red fruits like strawberry and cassis. Medium weight. Not as good as the 98 or 97 but a good drink.

Deep rich purple color. The nose is a bit gamey and has a slight yeastyness to it, although not in a unattractive sense. Perhaps a bit of reduction. Great soft tannins and just enough acid carries the finish all the way home.

Smooth texture with structure and acidity. Notes of white pepper, leather, blackberries with a little eucalyptus on the initial finish. Delicious.

A private dinner at a friend's (London, UK): Mature, balanced, fleshy, meaty Shiraz. Nothing out of place.
