Such charm that it'' impossible not to fall for this vintage right away, yet it''s built with the stamina for long endurance. Great intensity meets medium-bodied grace in a core layered with violets, Satsuma plums, blueberries and black cherries. Nuances of liquorice, high cocoa dark chocolate and vanilla flash by along the way, but the focus remains resolutely on brilliantly defined dark fruits. Mineral-fine, tightly structured tannins point to great things in the next decade.

None made in ''11, reflecting the very high standards set by Best''s, because the declassified wine in that year was the mainstay of Bin No. 1 that won the Jimmy Watson Trophy. This Bin 0 is an epitome of medium-bodied shiraz from an ideal climate, blackberry, plum, licorice and a hint of spice on the seamless, smooth-flowing palate. History shows how superbly these wines age.
