Nice old wine, starting to thin out a little? Pleasant but not especially distinguished. Lighter brickred colour and stocky old nose. Lighter bodied wine. Drying finish. Still quite sound.

90 Points Robert Parker
A blend of 92% Shiraz and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine showed a dark garnet color with moderate amber at the edge. Notes of prune, mint, coffee, caramel, molasses, and some sweet cherry and berry fruit are present in this full-bodied, intact, succulent Grange that is still fresh, with no traces of oxidation or decay. The wine is round and complex as well as delicious, with full body. Drink it over the next 6-7 years.
