Saturday, January 17, 2015 - Hunter Valley - 6 Cellar Doors (Hunter Valley): {screwcap, 13.5%, A$75} Labelled in O’Shea style as ‘Medium-bodied Dry Red’. Sourced from blocks of the Rosehill vineyard planted in 1946, 1965, and 1990s in the ratio 25:50:25. Aging in all-French oak, half new, for 20 months. Liquorice first on the nose, then cherry spice and resin. The palate is rich and concentrated, with those cherried fruits, chalky tannins and medium/full-bodied weight. Dry and savoury, with a medium/long savoury finish, it’s a clear step up from the OP&OH. With no provenance, aging is anyone’s guess.
