I discovered this saturated ruby '01 Paringa Shiraz 'Individual Vineyard' buried in the recesses of my cellar. Somehow it was never logged into my inventory. Although it ranked 40th on the 2002 Wine Spectator Top 100 List, it was an entry-level wine not meant for extended cellaring. What a pleasant shock when I lifted the decanter to my nose. Huge cherry, blackberry and oaky vanilla scents floated up. Then a plush palate of dark fruit and spice flavors followed. Best $10 I've ever spent!
