Fine shiraz. Nose of black cherry, rose, orange. Dark raspberry and herbs--sage, thyme--on the palate; dark chocolate and licorice at the finish. Should last several more years.

Slightly over the hill but very pleasurable.. Drank in a vertical against a 02 and 05. Doesn't scream Syrah any longer but very delightful. Spice is strong on this wine with secondary tastes of red fruit and the finish is still in the 20-30 second range. If you have this, drink it now.

pretty sweet nose, but not the deathly sweetness of Aussie shiraz, with a bit more earthiness which reminds me of Rhone Syrah, suddenly a whiff of floral perfume, a bit of smoked meats, caramelized sugar... still full-bodied but tannins are a bit softer now.

Wine is at ideal age--flavors fully developed with no hint of oxidation. Blackberries, cassis predominate with chocolate finish. A fine wine with pork au poivre.
