Earthy cherry notes with a touch of leather. Sounds like descriptors for a good Brunello but no, this is a very good 10 year old Hunter valley Shiraz. A product of vines now more than a century old from the historic Hillside Vineyards. Named after the legendary Maurice O'Shea who began making wine in the Hunter in 1925. I have read his biography and once had a bottle of 1952 made by the great man, who died in 1956. Viticulture in the Hunter can be traced back to 1823. — 10 years ago

Heavenly. As good as quarter-century old wine will taste. Classic Pauillac nose, still some fruit but mostly other interesting pieces to this bouquet puzzle. A mouthful and lingering for a minute or more. This is the stuff. — 11 years ago

From the Willamette Valley's 2008 vintage of the century for Pinot Noir, this was our Thanksgiving wine and it paired beautifully with turkey dinner. — 10 years ago

A fine sheet of lean tannins and a fair bit of acidity balance out the gobs of fruit. Drinking local as I watch the Capitals beat the Rangers! Will I have to pull out a Chicago beer for my Blackhawks? — 11 years ago

Very sweet also like a moscato but much easier to drink. — 10 years ago

Promising. L006 far far too young. Lovely tannins in the finish but will need a decade or three to articulate. — 11 years ago

Fresh off the bottling line. Slated for fall release. 25th (!?) anniversary label. Very challenging vintage, one of the best wines I've ever made. So looking forward to the next quarter-century. — 12 years ago
