Description
Dense and brooding when first released, it has already evolved into a highly sophisticated marriage of fruit and oak on bouquet and palate; the latter’s excellent savoury tannin structure balances the lashings of opulent fruit.
90 points Wine Advocate
Seemingly close to maturity, this dark plum/ruby-colored 1998 offers up sweet aromas of damp earth, compost, pepper, and black currant fruit. The wood component is kept well in the background in this distinctively earthy, ripe, fleshy, full-bodied Shiraz. Consume it over the next decade.
90 points Wine Spectator
Solidly built, easy to like, smooth in texture, generous with its minty blackberry flavors and tarry, spicy overtones. Not as deep and rich as some vintages of this wine, but the tannins are refined and it’s designed to last.
