the Tyrrell's Vat8 Shiraz/Cab (I know, 707, still trying to work some dates out for our taste off :D :D ) but this is a great combo, usaully 2/3 hunter shiraz, and 1/3 Coonawarra Cab, the cab adding the 'meat' to the wine, and these age well...(due to the cab :roll: ) the 1999 v8 being one of the standouts......
Haven't thought any 389 has(94-02) being decent xcept for that oak bomb 1998..

I think they have moved the cabernet component to mudgee. Not sure from which vintage though. A recent vintage (2004 I think) had only 5% cabernet which they felt sufficient to 'balance' the wine :)
