Mitchelton Print Shiraz 1995 (Review)

The 2000 version of this wine was recently reviewed by Byron and my comments are similar. I got two bottles of this as part of a small consulting assignment and I am glad I didn't pay full retail. The winery said this was a great wine and would last- the back label claims up to 20 years. I found the wine sound, but tired. The fruit was just about gone. The tannins were nice and soft, but not a tremendous amount of complexity for a wine costing $45 in 1998. It certainly was pleasant, but not rewarding.
