Best's Great Western Dinner with Justin Purser (The Tea Room, City Wine Shop, Melbourne): Took some time to open up in the decanter. Not as spritely as the '92, showing more oak and developed character and less precision in the balance of acidity and tannin. Still, a great rich aroma and heaps of flavour on the aftertaste, plenty of character and power. Just perhaps nearing the end of it's life.

Wonderful nose, rich and still exhibiting lots of black fruit.
Drinking exceptionally well for its age.
Thoroughly enjoyed with friends.
