Magnificent! So fragrant and velvety, there is a good reason hunter Shiraz used to be called Burgundy. Fruit still vibrant with lovely tertiary characters. — 14 days ago

At an old friends place in Scarborough on Moreton Bay having a wonderful seafood meal. The nose is textbook Art Series with ripe grapefruit, citrus and pear Toasty notes. The palate shows that rich oak is resolving with the powerful fruit - profound intensity which is a great match with the mornay seafood. Great persistence and length in this 3rd of 6. Hope I have the patience to have just one each year until 2024. — 5 years ago

Think of this as a cider or maybe a spritzer, not a wine. Light and quite dry, with nice perfumed blueberry flavors. 6.8% abv. Good casual aperitif. From Scarborough, Maine. — a year ago

I’m drinking the Obsessive Shiraz. Great length, almost star anise with meatiness. Some fruit (red currants?) at the back of the nose, but the initial impression is all protein based. Middle weight pallet, some lovely silkiness and really great length... — 8 years ago

Light straw in color. Citrus, apple, mineral, stone and saline. Lovely mouthfeel and a long finish. The only domestic plot of carricante. Drink it next to the Aeris Sicilian bottling of the same varietal for fun. Worth chasing down. Paired with @Valerie O'Shea paella. — 3 years ago

A lot more character than the Elizabeths.
No much lanolin yet, but a searing minerality that I reckon is peculiar to the Lovedale vineyard. This should be the vineyard planted by Maurice O'Shea in his last few years of life. Again, though, my feelings are telling me that this wine won't get much better than this, which is not an issue, we just drink it. No stress. — 6 years ago
