"An excellent wine from this difficult vintage, and one whose perfumed aromas of violets and blackberries, spicy prunes and plums do reflect a higher degree of ripeness than typical for Basket Press. However the palate is still fresh and juicy, lively and intense, with length and persistence. Drink 2005-2009."
Jeremy Oliver, OnWine.
Robert Parker 91 points!"Showing a flattering, precocious character, 1997 Shiraz Basket Press has a deep purple color, a sweet nose of blue and black berries, intermixed with licorice and barbecue spices. The wine is full-bodied, very supple, ripe, with low acidity and a spicy, long, succulent finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2016."
