March 31, 2023 - What a joy to drink. At its apogee without a hint of decline. Beautiful nose with dark fruit, oak, smoke, saddle leather and spices. Full bodied with ameliorated but still present tannins and smooth mouthfeel. Secondary notes and liveliness abound. Long, long finish. I feel the 1998 was more opulent and this one turned out more for the long haul. Very nice wine.

December 11, 2022 - P&P. nose typical of Mc Laren Vale* shiraz, bold dark fruits, some wood but nicely integrated, spices. The palate starts rich and large but has very good freshness for the pedigree. very long and great after taste. still has a lot of life.
