Mount Pleasant Wines

Maurice O'Shea Hunter Valley Shiraz 2005

A very big wine in all respects. A certain amount of earthiness with plum on nose with a less than perfect coarseness and astringency. From these 100+ year old vines deserves to be better than this. Chose this wine tonight as we are travelling to the Hunter Valley tomorrow for the Annual Launch on Saturday of the latest vintage of Maurice OShea. The 2014 is one of the greatest vintages in the fickle Hunter Valley for decades. 99 points from Halliday and a potential 50 year wine. Edited note 2 days later - Halliday spoke at the launch and said it was a potential 100 year old wine.!! — 8 years ago
