I cannot velieve its not vinegar after all this time. Pushing 20 years.
Most the fruit is gone but man the white and black pepper sure is there. Would be great w pork bbq with a dry rub.
Drank from a small wine glass with a small openi g at top expecting any fruit to be fleeting.

this wine has aged to perfection. I am so impressed with its power and elegance with wonderful fruit notes after all this time. Having with a pork loin...so good.

This wine is amazing. 14 years in the cellar and the fruit is right there one the nose. Drinking beautifully. I wish I had 5 more cases.

I am in shock. This wine has not only held up way longer than I expected, it has improved tremendously. I would have believed this an older Bourdoux. Amazing. Thank God I have 6 more!

8/3/2015 - Earl T Likes this wine: 86 points

Surprised that this wine has held up so well. Drinking nicely. Not much on the nose but still nice cherry flavors with a little pepper finish. Expected dead juice. For price very nice after 10 years.

9/7/2013 - Earl T Does not like this wine: 80 points

dont know if only past its prime or started this way but it has lost its color and fruit already, if it ever had it, even though been in my climate controlled cellar the whole way. color looks like a 15 year old wine. Too much green bell pepper for me. pass.

2004 d'Arenberg d'Arry's Original Shiraz/Grenache

McLaren Vale Red Rhone Blend more

9/7/2013 - Earl T Likes this wine: NR

this is still in good shape, as I was a little worried it might be past its time. Still lots of fruit, not what you would call refined, slightly "dirty" on the palate, but the red and black fruit favors with a little spice was worth it. most will find this a good fruit forward drink.

Can't believe this bottle is still alive. Would have bet the house it would be dead. Nothing special, but still a little fruit, cherry mainly with white pepper at end. Muted but what do u expect for something this cheap and this old.

Amazingly this wine is still drinking well. Lots of fruit still in there. Typical of this wine palate is full and loaded with fruity goodness. Not for Pinot lovers. But I like it. Damn good with braised beef though! A little heat still at the end, but not overpowering.
