Score 90/100 · Robert Parker, Oct 2004
The 2000 Shiraz Octavius possesses earthy, peppery aromatics revealing notions of smoke, melted asphalt/creosote, plums, currants, figs, and loamy soil. While medium to full-bodied, with moderate tannin as well as an excellent finish, it is not as outstanding as the brilliant 1998 and 1999 Octavius, or even the 2001.
