If you like that one, I recommend Lengs & Cooter, “The Victor”, Shiraz 2003 or 2004. It may cost a bit more, but is an outstanding wine (for some reason the Aussies call their's "Shiraz". It's from South Australia, I liked it enough to cellar a case. It's a very dark red, should mature well over the next 2-3-4 years.
From the L & C website:
This wine is made from premium grapes sourced from the great Shiraz producing areas of South Australia . A significant proportion of this wine is handmade using traditional methods i.e. small two tonne open fermenters, hand plunged and basket pressed prior to spending 10 months in older French and American oak Hogsheads. The wine shows its youthfulness with purple/red tinges on the rim. Sweet red berry fruits with some lifted oak characters dominate the bouquet. The medium weight palate reflects the bouquet, with its red fruits and soft oak flavours; sufficent acid and tannins provide structure and balance without being overbearing. The softer tannins and minimal use of oak, approx 10mths in total with 10% being new oak, makes for a fresher earlier drinking style. However this wine can safely be cellared for 2--4 years depending on the amount of bottle age you desire. 15.0% Alc/Vol Drink now or cellar for more complexity.
