  Outstanding wine! Very crumbly cork but gave about 1hr decant & was absolutely perfect

  Very much a tertiary Shiraz. High alcohol smell on opening, softening with air. Hints of dried fruits. Cork in perfect condition. Only a hint of brickishness. Still delicious. Penfolds' Rewards of Patience says this vintage is drinkable up to 2040. I think that's a bit optimistic. I suggest drink now to soon.

  The last of my Wilburs purchases when I was a shelf stocker. Probably paid $15 for it? I think I held on to due to nostalgic reasons. I will always remember the plush fruit and the big structure. Not huge like a 389. But big anyway.
  
  Color. Brick red
  
  Nose. Cinnamon red hots, cardamom, kirsch.
  
  Palate. Pale light red fruits. Simple. Nothing going on here.

  For the price point this was a great bottle of wine. Also, 2002 is twenty years old and was perfect. Smooth, with notes of blackberry, chocolate and prunes.
