Vintage notes
Vintage quality: Legendary
Current condition: Ready to drink
The 1998 Australian vintage was a massive success, particularly for the Barossa.
A cool spring gave way to a long, hot and dry summer. The dry conditions helped keep rot and disease at bay while a touch of rain at the end of the growing season relieved dehydrated ground
Tasting Profile
Colour: Garnet with bricking edges, showing graceful age.
Nose: Aromas of dried plum, mulberry, earthy spice, leather, and hints of cedar and tobacco.
Palate: Medium-bodied with integrated tannins, flavours of stewed red fruits, dark chocolate, pepper, and savoury oak. Mature and soft, with balance and length that reflect careful cellaring and quality fruit.
Cellaring and Condition
This wine is fully mature and drinking at its peak. It offers a refined experience for collectors and fans of classic Hunter Valley Shiraz.
Food Pairing Suggestions
Best enjoyed with slow-cooked lamb, roasted duck, mushroom dishes, or aged cheeses—ideal for meals where savoury depth and elegance are appreciated.
