For me:
Lakes Folly (had one last month and just fantastic - think it was a 99, not 100% sure)
Maurice O'Shea (these need time though)
Mistress Block and Wade Block from Brokenwood (thought they tasted as good as Graveyeard but perhaps less cellaring potential) - Must point out - it took 20 mins of pestering to get a taste of Graveyard from the CD...
Tyrrells Stevens Shiraz is great value and a good wine
And I have "discovered" DeIuliis shiraz's - very very nice and have a distinct porty taste. Start from $20 for show reserve..
My view anyway..

I must bring a bottle of the 2000 Tower Estate Hunter Shiraz for you to try sometime. Quite prostigious, to borrow a phrase. One of the best Hunters I have tried for some time.
Just picked up 6 bottles of this at auction (together with 6 of the 99 Coonawarra Cab) for £35, plus about £4 buyers premium / vat
Postage to add on mind, but happy with the price and hope the wine matches up to it.
I'm sure I'll crack a bottle soon after the parcel arrives, so will try to remember to post.
