Great idea on the anniversary wine.
I'm a noobie. Can anyone tell me if 2000 was a good year for Aussie reds?
Thanks in advance.
Hunter Valley and some areas in Victoria were good, the rest so so.
Cheers

If you had to choose between drinking great wine or winning Lotto, which would you choose - Red or White?

Ditto Mike's comments (wet wet wet) although Coonawarra wasn't too shabby. I've had plenty of good cabs.

1996 E&E Black Pepper Shiraz - smooth, elegant, lost most of its primary fruit, but etherial in its loveliness. No decanting and did improve for a couple of hours and found myself licking the bottom of the glass. Simply wonderful but if you have any left I wouldn't wait too long.

Thanks Luke, still have a couple somewhere in the cellar. Will try one soon...
