Had the '98 Eight Songs last week with friends in Florida. Absolutely delicious! Ripe, round, warm, full-bodied, smooth finish. The entire package.
Tonight, we uncorked the '97 (which we purchased at the winery in 2001).
Similar nose to the '98, but not quite as full-bodied as the '98. A touch higher in acidity as well. With some air time, it rounded out a bit. A good drink, but the '98 is superior.

Guest,
I was so taken by how well the '98 is showing, today I ordered 6 more bottles. This one has drunk well since release and doesn't appear anywhere near decline. I love it for the pure hedonistic pleasure it gives, and, it is a great wine to share with folks who don't have alot of experience with Oz Shiraz.

Where can you order them now? and how much it cost you?
I couldn't find it except in the Auction House.
Got one set of the 96 vintage and going to have a verticle tasting on the 96 98 and 99 later this month.

Jacques,
As I am in The States, there are still a few bottles in the Pennsylvania pipeline.
WineSearcher says Discount Wines in Canberra still has an inventory, with an asking price of around $50 US. That's what I'm paying here in Pennsylvania.
