| 2001 Brokenwood Shiraz, Wade Block 2, McLaren Vale - very nice sweet core, just barely starting to show some secondary characteristics, moderate tannins, really opened up with a little air. This is coming along nicely, but I think I'll let my remaining bottles rest for a couple more years. | | | 2008: the end of an error | |

Did you pick these up from K&L? I've got a buddy at work from Australia that raves about this stuff and was picking up several cases with the prices going down to $17 a bottle... | | | |

| Drew, honestly I don't recall where I got these, but they were not purchased recently. I've had them in the cellar for several years, and I paid $22 each. I seem to recall this was some sort of deal with Winetex? | | | 2008: the end of an error | |

I seem to recall this was some sort of deal with Winetex? Nope, I think that deal was Kay Brothers Block 6.  2005 Le Cadeau Pinot Noir Diversite - needs integration; very chunky right now | | | |
