This wine has always been a great value. The 99 is still drinking really well. Good color, and body. The wine still has tow to three more years left. Classic Shiraz style wine, complex flavors, good balance of oak and fruit. Finish was nice and lasted a while.

Good decision to hold this bottle for a couple more years after tasting it in July '06. Some plummy fruit has emerged and the wine has come into a smooth balance. Poured it for some non-winos and they quite voocally enjoyed it. Drink now.

Intense concentration of flavors - sour cherries, blueberries and leather. Soft and round but a little tired

Earthy, oaky bouquet, deep purple, robust on palate. Peppery and somewhat leathery; excellent with steak.
