Vintage 1998
94 points Halliday Wine Companion
Wide, fat and syrupy, but then that's the 1998 vintage. It drinks like an airport novel, all guts and kisses, like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Syrupy blackberry. A soft mesh of oak. Length. Balance. Fruit integrity. A tarry earthiness that is pure Barossa. It is a very good wine, a mouth-romp. It is a wine to be lavished and enjoyed. But it is not the classic piece of contemplation it might have seemed on release.

A beautiful bottle of a top vintage wine. Glorious complexity of roasted meats and dried mushrooms, rich, concentrated and gorgeous. A sumptuous mature shiraz, drinking at its best right now. (Cork)
