| Tasted at our November 9th, 2008 consumer event featuring 1998 vintage wines from McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek, this wine was a winner with our customers!
"A powerful 1998 Shiraz (15.8% alcohol), this chewy, somewhat closed, but dense, muscular Shiraz is crammed with leathery, earthy, blackberry, cassis fruit, has a corpulent personality, sweet tannin, and a lusty, slightly rustic, but powerful finish. I am not sure it is going to gain any finesse, so drink it over the next decade to take full advantage of such exuberance." 91 pts, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, June 2001.
