From the very good 1998 vintage & scoring 99/100 Parker points The virtually perfect 1998 Shiraz Hanisch (100% Shiraz from 26-year old vines that achieved 14.7% alcohol) is a huge but impressively balanced effort. Offering up notes of beef blood, blackberries, & jammy cassis liqueur, This viscous, but not heavy, massive, full-bodied, fabulously concentrated 1998 has a finish that lasts for just under a minute. It represents the essence of Shiraz. Three hundred cases were produced. It can be drunk now because it is so luxuriously rich, but don't expect secondary nuances to develop for at least another 5-8 years. It should keep for 20-25.. . at the minimum. Drink now
