  Mr. Riggs Shiraz, Magnum 2004
  Deep ruby garnet color with good clarity. Decant for 2 hours in bottle, ready to drink after that. Nose of riped fruits, concentrated with black, though this is a Shiraz, berries, cherries, blueberries. Plummy with rich character, light spice, slight oak, little earthy. Entry is smooth, savory, medium body and palate mainly echo the nose. All tannins has subsided, mild acidity, tapering....Finished is pleasant, mid length. Consume within next 3 years. 90 pts

  Well developed on nose and pallet but with some fresh bouquet coming through. Great length and some primary fruit peeking through. Great wine

  An aged bouquet of stewed plums and cherries, black pepper and earthy notes on the nose. Palate is rich and elegant at the same time. Good transition from entry to finish which is smooth and persistence. Just a touch of power towards the end of the polished but hot finish. Drink up soon.

  This was a spectacular magnum. In a perfect drinking window. Was decanted but epic from the get go faded after 1 and half hours.
  
  Nose - cherry cedar oak and spice.
  
  Palate - vulumptous supple defined and hedonistic. A cherry bomb with a huge amount of tobacco leather and oak.
  
  This wine was incredible At the qpr a true bargain. Could not have been better. In perfect drinking window will hold for 2-4 years but doubt it will improve.

  Not nearly as impactful as my previous. Some bottle var I suspect - as this bottle was still in good tact. Not the depth of flavor or length. Oh well...
