98 Points Robert Parker
Deep garnet with a bit of lingering purple, the 2004 Reserve Shiraz opens with some earthy meatiness to begin which gives way to plenty of fruit, still a bit primary, along with violets, menthol, licorice and chocolate notes. Full-bodied, rich, opulent, it has tons of youthful fruit in the mouth complemented by savory and spicy layers and structured by medium-firm, rounded tannins and vibrant acid. It finishes long. Drink it now to 2025+.
