I have had the 98 which was an excellent wine fom an excellent year. However, the 97 was a very good year for Barossa Shiraz too.
The RWT is the little brother to Grange and is Penfolds making a pure Barossa Shiraz. Some people say they prefer the RWT to the Grange!
I find the RWT is very heavy on the oak and at the time it drowned out the beautiful fruit you could taste underneath. If you can afford to wait 5 years for the oak to soften a bit I suspect it will be excellent.
Penfolds web site www.penfolds.com.au has tasting notes on all their wines and suggested cellaring times.
