Would buy again under $35. Good mouth feel. Oxidative character on the nose, smells like the crust of an apple galette that’s been brushed with egg wash, or an undercooked challah french toast. Delicate bluish and greenish purples pop from the pale gold backdrop. Pretty tight bubbles but could be tighter. Could be dryer. Could be more acidic. If this had more minerality I’d love it. — a month ago

Good not great. Strawberry. A bit harsh. Definitely tastes like rose but have had better. Maybe skip if just for drinking vs. toast. — a year ago

Revisiting the 15 vintage - dense and elegant, finely grained texture. There is just something inexplicably refined about this legend. — 3 years ago

Very nice red blend for the finger lakes. This particular winery specializes only in red wines. Very nice atmosphere and they are wonderful hosts that are really knowledgeable. Winetasting would think you’re drinking California reds — 3 years ago

A solid rich Ruby red with no tawny rim. Looks way younger than 27 years. An earthy, plummy leathery perfume with same earthy, plummy and minerally medium to full bodied palate - a sweaty saddle classic old Hunter Valley style. Medium plus intensity of flavour with great persistence. Demonstrates the amazing longevity of old vine Hunter Valley Shiraz. I think you could safely drink this into the late 2020s. Honouring the Hunter Valley legend, Maurice O’Shea, who made great wine in primitive conditions In the late 1940s and 1950’s. About 15 years ago I had a 1952 Mount Pleasant Shiraz made by the great man - just medium bodied and still full of energy. — 3 years ago
