| | Tried the '04 MP Shiraz tonight: very similiar to the previous vintages; either you're a fan or not. | | | |

| | 04 MP Shiraz at Costco for $11.49. Much better than the 03 which wasn't good at all. More along the lines of the 01,02 but sweeter. A little disjointed right now. Should come together in a year or so like the other vintages have. No hot finish at all which is a first for this wine upon release. Selvin cap makes this look like what it is. Cheap. A reasonably good wine for the money. I won't be buying cases. Burned out on this style. | | | |
