2003 or 2004 Heathcote Estate Shiraz
Have been thinking lately I need to get some Heathcote Shiraz. Incidentally then I've found both the 2003 and 2004 Heathcote Estate Shiraz in my local bottle-o for a decent price. Any view on which to get? I read some reviews and it seems there isn't much between them, but perhaps the 2004 is the preferred. I'd be buying a few to drink over the couple years.

I haven't tried that particular wine but '04 was regarded as an amazing vintage in Heathcote.
If you had to choose between drinking great wine or winning Lotto, which would you choose - Red or White?
Re: 2003 or 2004 Heathcote Estate Shiraz
Had you thought of buying one bottle of each and trying them, then deciding which one to stock up on?

I had the pleasure of the 05 recently, it was super. Great style, very long and balanced.

Quite enjoyed the 03 at release - tasted like a grange - last time I tasted it - it is on its way out - the 04 is great at the moment

How can an '03 wine "taste like a Grange" and now be on it's way out?

when the 03 was released had "grange like" characters buts 8years later is fading - happy with that Mahmoud
