This highly rated (for this vintage), very affordable reserve Shiraz has lasted nicely. Found it tucked away in the storage unit after its two dozen cousins disappeared probably 5 to 8 years ago. It was very strong still, with lots of fruit surrounded by hints of black pepper. Pleasantly surprised.

Totally forgot I had this in my collection... Luckily it didn't go bad. Still tasted quite good. Lots of dark fruit. Smooth texture.

Well worth $20. It surprised me. Really nice wine. Soft tannins, plum and spice. Everyday drinking.
