This wine was just singing! From the voluptuous nose that still had fruit, plum, spice and all things nice to the palate that was alive, complex fruit infused. A joy to drink. Man these top notch Eden shirazes can really show well. No surprise the cork was in perfect nick.

Another encounter with this fabulous wine, again with very similar impressions and this time next to a bottle of 1998 Hill of Grace. Sweet fruit on the nose, spices, smoky, meaty - very expressive and just gorgeous. On the palate well integrated alcohol, soft, unobtrusive tannins, generous fruit, good acidity. Very elegant and balanced, very long. 92-94

Expressive on the nose, notes of cassis, eucalyptus, spices. On the palate mellow tannins, still loads of fruit, great acidity and overall balance. Nice length. 92-94

Wow, what a bloody good step up from the '95 this is. Rich, blasting complexity on the nose showing notes of black forest fruit, chocolate, leather. Silky smooth on the palate with fully developed tannins. Acidity is still firm and keeps the fruit concentration flying high and alive. Long, beautiful finish. Just so good.
