One of Australia's greatest 'cult wines' The 1998 Signature is a tour de force of the sheer power and voluptuosity of the 1998 vintage. The wine is a beautiful full ruby hue with ripe rich aromas of black cherry, cassis, and blueberry fruit. On the palate the wine is firm and muscular though has tons more fruit once it emerges from the heaping stack of intricately woven tannins that ensure this wine will continue to improve for 20 years or more. Hard to buy a better wine than this, it's not easy to find this one either, only 25 6-packs were imported into the United States.
