I had this in last place of th6 wines we tried. I don't think this bottle was up to it and the wine is getting a bit tired.

2003 Torbreck (Cuvée) Juveniles 87 Points

Actually I had this wine in fifth place. Although good this Cab/Shiraz blend did stick out from the rest in the flight. Expected more.

2002 Penfolds Shiraz RWT 91 Points
Australia, South Australia, Barossa, Barossa Valley
I had this as the fourth wine out of six. Although a very good wine the competition was stiff and I believe this wine is still not showin to its potential.

2006 Penfolds Shiraz Magill Estate 92 Points
Australia, South Australia, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide Plains
Second wine of the night for me. This is still young and will develop significantly but has great potential. It stuck out in the flight thanks to a great and intruiging nose.
