I get the feeling that the end is nigh. Tonight's bottle was fine bouquet-wise, but there was a definite over-mature character on the finish. Drink up people.

Sweet, rich nose of dark fruits. Lovely mouthfeel - smooth and with just the right amount of viscosity. Loads of dark, slightly medicinal fruit on the palate. Powerful without being overpowering. Really good length to the slightly grippy finish. Some development adds complexity, but this still seems quite youthful, despite its 16 years. Impressive.

Inna shake those hips and drink this cola and shake shake.
Super concentrated for 15 years old. Wow this is even bigger than padt experience. I think my wife stored it above the fridge; did that inadvertantly heat it into some sort of mutant ninja turtle? This is some good turtle.

stupendous wine, best of a large 2002 horizontal that included Grange, HoG and Astralis. gorgeous black fruits, silky and long, with a beautiful structure. a very, very good (and surprising) showing of this wine. Everyone occasionally gets hold of a freak bottle, so I would like to see another 2002 to determine if this showing is true to the vintage.

Well rounded full body Shiraz. Smooth and well balanced ripe for drinking now
