Robin brought a bottle of the Jacobs Creek 1998 Limited Shiraz Cabernet Blend that has just been bottled for me to try and I am looking forward to it. Unfortunately the restaurant glasses didn’t do much for the bouquet but from the first sip you can tell this is great wine. The ample weight fruit provides multiple berry flavours on the palate with huge flavour intensity, yet there is an understated elegance. The wine is very complex and harmonious. After drinking a mouthful of wine, I had a sip of Perrier water and there was a literal explosion of mouth filling berry flavours that lingered and lingered. The wine is currently rated as Excellent but may well go to Outstanding in time. – Aug 02
