So seems you are professional offline-attendee now? 
otw posted:Australian shiraz is out of style, so I've been ignoring it in my cellar for the last few years. Last night I opened my last bottle of 2001 Craneford Barossa Shiraz. Despite Cellartracker's advice that the drinking window had expired in 2007, it was really quite good. Deep ruby colour with no bricking. Deep dark fruit flavours with a bit of leather and no perceived tannin but still well-structured.
So tonight I opened up a 1998 Clarendon Hills Piggott Range Shiraz. Again, there is no visible sign of aging other than substantial sediment. But the wine has a lovely spiciness with a Rhone-style flavour profile. According to CT, it's drinking window expired in 2016.
Agree 100%. Those big fruit-forward shirazs that so many diss soften and become quite nice in their old age!

Agree Bman re: nice in their old age.
While not a Shiraz, a really nice Ozzie Bordeaux blend.

Pretty close although I do still hold a day job. About 6 more years before I go full time offliner.

Are you responding to a January "What are you drinking" thread with a wine you had... in October?
I liked the note, though. Thanks!
Pretty much! I'm that far behind right now. I'm hoping to get caught up soon.
2002 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc
Light, ephemeral, a charming blend of fruit flavours, minerality and a touch of herbaceousness. This is what brought me to love NZ Sauv Blanc. Cellartracker says the drinking window expired in 2005.

LB, it's an outstanding bottle of wine. If anything the chocolate/mocha note in this wine is even more pronounced now than when it was young. I remain very skeptical about the composition of this wine.
