I waited way too long to drink this. I did taste it and I think I'll get another bottle to drink during the proper time frame.

Might be a bit over the hill, but still balanced with good fruit, medium tannins.

Definitely waited too long on this bottle. Pretty flat and not much fruit left.

I was a little worried when I opened this wine. The cork split a bit and crumbled on the end. The pour smelled good. The color was right so I had a taste. The taste is constant and flat. No real body at this time. I think I may have kept this one too long. Not bad, but doesn't do much for me. Smells good though.

OAK! Hints of fruit showing, but couldn't get past the oak. Probably should have pulled the trigger sooner on this one--makes me wonder if as the fruit died down, nothing is there to tame the wood.

Very oaky, hints of cherry and earth and currants. Started out tepid but grew on me after it was opened for a few minutes. Huge finish. Needed to be drunk now, might have been a year late.

Nothing really wrong with this Cab/Merlot blend, at least in my opinion. Nice medium body, with a full nose of cherry and blackberry... finish was ok, but not one to make you sit up and take notice. A tad sweet on the palate, but then it is a blend, so I would expect it to some extent.

Wondeful.... A Cabernet with wet fruity overtones. Goes perfect with Baked basil chicken

This wine surprised me. I wasn't expecting much from this wine. It eneded up being a real lip smacker. I find that most people have an either "love him" or "hate him" stance towards Greg Norman's wines. I was in a stire in St. Louis once and asked if they had the '98 Greg Norman Reserve Shiraz. They just looked at me and said (rather snobishly I might add) "we don't carry Greg Norman wines." I don't understand the dislike. …

Currants and cedar but faded over the evening to leave a little too much acidity. An OK wine but a bit light and flabby.

Not very good. Serve only to golfers that do not know wine.
