91 Points Robert Parker
Showing a flattering, precocious character, 1997 Shiraz Basket Press has a deep purple color, a sweet nose of blue and black berries, intermixed with licorice and barbecue spices. The wine is full-bodied, very supple, ripe, with low acidity and a spicy, long, succulent finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2016.
