 Tasted by Ozmango on 1/3/2024 & rated 95 points: Classy wine from an excellent year. True definition of a Hunter Shiraz. Still purple hues. Cassis, vanilla and plums flow through to the sweet palate. Soft tannins follow in a beautiful balance. A delight. (300 views)
 Tasted by djn63 on 12/25/2021 & rated 94 points: Beautiful The wine has a light sweetness to it .liquorice with complexity and length Made me realise why people seek out this wine (907 views)
 Tasted by Jimmy_D on 5/20/2018 & rated 94 points: Maurice O'Shea Experience May 2018 (Mount Pleasant, Pokolbin, NSW): The most restrained nose of the four on show today. It’s still tightly wound, albeit approachable, seems to be the norm with Hunter ‘11s across the board. This looks like a sleeper which will outlive most other vintages. Everything is packed into this, just under wraps at the moment. 94+ (2324 views)
 Tasted by graemeg on 1/17/2015: Hunter Valley - 6 Cellar Doors (Hunter Valley): {screwcap, 13.5%, A$110} At this stage of the tasting I don’t find the O’Shea all that different to the 1946 Rosehill vines wine, save that perhaps it has an extra degree of malty oak apparent, placing the spicy, earthy fruit just a little more in the background. With the production cut the standard of this wine should lift somewhat; certainly the price has; this has a wonderfully long savoury finish to its near-full-bodied presence and weight. Smooth, polished. Very good indeed. Save for a decade, possible two, as with each of the last four wines in the tasting. (3793 views)
 Tasted by Locki on 12/31/2014 & rated 91 points: Nice, big round fruit driven shiraz with good balance. Cinnamon and plum on the nose. Followed by a big round gulp of plum and cherry with a hint of citrus and menthol on the mid palate to round it out, Long finish of pepper and red fruit (2671 views)
 Tasted by JerM on 9/6/2013: (Langtons w Mich&Bo) Fresh red fruit, Pong, plums. stiff acidity, lacy textured. Elegant, lithe teenager, with some attitude. (3275 views)
 Tasted by CamWheeler on 9/5/2013 & rated 92 points: Langton's Classification Tasting (Carraigeworks, Sydney): Spice, floral, cherry and earth. Palate is well balanced, with good depth and a vibrancy to the fruit that works well against the earthy savouriness. (3570 views)
