Sadly let this sit too long. Overly aged but not terrible. Definitely reason notes and fuller body. Would be interested to try again and drink younger… — 4 months ago
Going through some of my older wines and really enjoying them. This bottle of Phelps tasted great! — 23 days ago
Medium ruby in color; raspberries, black cherries, and cedar on the nose; medium acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like blackberries, red plums, tabacco, and black olives with a long finish. — a month ago
A special project wine for the US and China marketplace. This is a 100% Shiraz with a medium-bodied style, ripe and very generous with plenty full flavors of mulberry, ripe blackberry, mocha and hints of blackforrest chocolate cake. It has a noticeable freshness on the palate which and a smooth cocoa powder finish, quite appealing to those who are looking for ready to go Shiraz from Australia. — 3 months ago

Back to back nights of 97’s. This bottle was around $20 on release. Drinking well beyond that tonight. I really enjoy these Napa Phelps with this kind of age. — a day ago
