  Wow. Still going strong after 23 years. Berry and plum notes, well integrated tannins. Very smooth. The '99 was one of the stand out vintages in the late '90s, early 2000s for Bin 28.

  A classic! Easy to drink and fully mature! Smooth on the palate, abundance of red fruits!

  Courtesy of Sam's father; turns out I quite like Shiraz once it's twenty years old. Balanced, not entirely overpowering anymore. He says a previous bottle was too plummy, too jammy; nine if that stuff here.

  Now 20 year old wine and starting to show it. Deep red colour with age coming through on the nose. Needs air to release its pent up emotions. Deep red berry flavours. A hint of chocolate A great wine that needs to be consumed now.

  Excellent, has lasted well. Last bottle.
  Colour: still deep black berry
  Bouquet: sweet blackberry fruit, dusty, herbal, some leather, plum, rum and raisin
  Palate: sweet blackberry fruit, dusty big soft tannins, licorice, leather, black olives, black tea, mint, tobacco/cigar box, white pepper, long lingering clean finish. Good acid and depth and balance, but ready to finish now.
