Velvety and generous wine, a nice and expressive Shiraz, matured for 12 months in old oak vats, a successful wine easy to find, easy to keep for years and good value — 11 years ago
Opened up exactly at the right time. Dark fruit, traditional old world earth, and smooth. If you have it, drink now. — 11 years ago
~10gm/liter residual sugar but has zingy acidity to balance. Floral, aromatic and fun. Nice lingering honeysuckle notes. — 11 years ago

This delectable taste of a fine old Bordeaux, a bit musty, tannins still very present, some complexity but most surprisingly so much length. Perfect with the veal chops in oregano and rosemary sauce. — 12 years ago

My 4th bottle, the best and my last, this absolutely killed it and is why I love Napa Valley Cabernet, especially #Spottswoode. 12 years old this easily has another 10 to go but is in a beautiful place right now. Open or decant for 30 minutes, though I did not decant. A deep resold color, not a sign of brick as one would expect. Shows the importance of provenance (bought from winery). A complex set or aromas and flavors of creme d'cassis, currants, sweet and sour cherries, sweet cedar, and graphite. Palate wise the textures are all in alignment, with medium to full body, ample acidity and medium grain slightly chewy tannins that may be it's only flaw. #2002 — 11 years ago

Fantastic zingy start, lovely balance, but then fails a bit to deliver at the end. Would have been great with a bigger fruit finish. — 11 years ago
