96 / 100"Full-bodied, deep, concentrated and rich, with loads of earthy Hunter Valley terroir, good concentration and ripeness. Great amplitude. Still young at 15 years and will power on for many more years. A classic."
- Huon Hooke
94 / 100
"Good colour; bright, fresh plum and blackberry fruit; much more structure than usual; firm though ripe, tannins make this for the long haul, and probably higher points down the track."
- James Halliday
Tasting Notes
Made in honour of the legendary winemaker and founder of Mount Pleasant, Maurice O'Shea. This Shiraz is sourced solely from the same old vines once tended to by Maurice himself.
