  This is a delicious Shiraz from the Barossa Valley. Extracted, bold and rich.

  part of a 5 vintage vertical with 97, 99, 01, 02, 04: ranked #5
  decanted about 30 minutes after opening, and served a little more than an hour after decanting. Minty, sweet on the palate. Wine was mature enough now to soften it on the palate but still retained enough structure. After more than 2 hours in the decanter this improved with some acidity on the palate.

  Wow this is some fantastic wine right here. At 21 years - this is just in a fantastic stage. As soon as I opened the bottle and poured a glass the whole room was filled with notes of dark fruit, spices, coffee, fresh picked blackberries, and a hint of leather. It pours very dark with some brown hue on the rim of the glass. But wow - that nose is just so delightful. Everyone commented on how great this wine smelled and how it filled the room.
  
  After about 15 minutes in the glass - the mouthfeel is incredible. Concentrated but not over the top extracted, incredibly well balanced, and lots of dark fruit with a great long finish that just leaves you wanting to take another sip. This is very easy drinking. The tannins are perfectly integrated at this point and the flavor just keeps going and going. I feel like this wine is in its perfect stage now. It is beautiful. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
