This is a full-throttle, massive super concentrated Shiraz. There were only 570 cases of this wine that “modestly” tips the scales at 16% alcohol. The wine shows a dense purple colour and a gorgeous nose of blue and blackberries intermixed with some cherry liqueur. Full-bodied, opulent with plenty of spice, creosote, pepper and subtle wood, this wine is impressive, concentrated and already delicious. Still drinking sensationally!!

The Wine Advocate 2001 “Dark almost black in colour, a muscular wine packed with blackberry, black pepper and spice flavours, balanced with juicy acidity as the flavours roll on and on. Drink now through 2013.” 90 points Wine Spectator USA 2002 This was the first wine ever released by Brothers in Arms. Predominantly sold in the US there are a few loyal Australian punters who found the 1998 Shiraz before it had all sailed away from our shores. Were you one of the lucky ones? Let us know!!
