This is the type of Shiraz that could open the batting - sure it's probably not in Grange league - not that I've ever had the chance to try - it is however still pretty blooming good. It may even not be as good as the celebrated Old Block (another on my "to do" list). This fits neatly between the St. Faith entry level Shiraz and the Old Block - a clear step up from the former. This was packed with aromas of vanilla, pepper and blackberry and plums and tasted every bit as good as it smelled. Sometimes wine is nice and sometimes it is really exciting - and this for me was exciting. Ready to drink now, but it would equally last another 5-7 years - the problem being it will be brilliantly nice at every stage - none better than the other - just different - so when to drink it?!

Well the 2003 is a very nice wine too, if you get the chance, buy it. It is selling here for $29 canadian dollars, about 14 pounds, and I think it's worth every penny. Check out my review http://crushedgrapes.blogspot.com/
