  28 years old, & drinking so well.
  Sweet spice, sour prune fruits, hints of tar & floral.
  The palate is gorgeous, persistently clean from start till finish, smooth & soft, apparent bold spicy strides, dissolved tannins, & long tangy acid.
  Having this 3 years later, and I m totally bowled over by its youthfulness & balance, enjoying this bottle even more than before.
  
  Sealed with traditional cork, no screw capped :)
  
  I think rating this wine is unnecessary, a classic is a classic.

  This has aged well. Drinking well now,
  Intensely & immensely enjoyable, mellowed but still a showy Shiraz.
  Burnt earth, smoky & ,fruity, plum, cherries syrup with a mixture of flowers & tobacco edges & a touch of spice.
