Expert Review
Robert Parker
It would be difficult to find a better Shiraz than the 1998 Shiraz Draycott Reserve. Sadly, only 195 cases were produced of this wine, which was made from a 40-year old vineyard. The color is a saturated blue/purple that looks more like vintage port than dry table wine. A spectacular bouquet of melted chocolate, licorice, blackberry jam, blueberries, and cassis is accompanied by an awesomely concentrated, massively proportioned wine that somehow has just enough acidity and tannin to both pull it together and provide some delineation.
The wine is gorgeously pure, with massive power and weight, and a finish that lasts for nearly a minute. Low acidity, high glycerin, 14.5% alcohol, and thrilling levels of extract/concentration make for a nearly perfect drinking experience. Anticipated maturity: now-2025+.
99 points, Wine Advocate (February 2000)
