94 points from the Australian Q Wine Reviews:
It's a wine which offers much more than you'd expect for the price point. It tiptoes through the mouth with surprising precision and captivating energy. Vanillin aromas plus blue and dark berry fruit are prominent. Improving with more time in the glass - it was a nervous and uptight thing early. There's plenty of density and complexity before finishing long and spicy.
This also previously won “Best Shiraz” and “Best Red” at the Mudgee Wine Show.
Plus an outstanding rating from the Real Wine Review.
The winery says:
A sumptuous and velvety red wine with complexity and some spicy characteristics. It tastes of berries, plums, baking spices and a touch of mocha on the lasting firm finish.
Oatley, by the way, has been one of Halliday’s top 5-star wineries since 2013.
Best of all, it’s a reasonable 13.5% alcohol.
