At an old friends place in Scarborough on Moreton Bay having a wonderful seafood meal. The nose is textbook Art Series with ripe grapefruit, citrus and pear Toasty notes. The palate shows that rich oak is resolving with the powerful fruit - profound intensity which is a great match with the mornay seafood. Great persistence and length in this 3rd of 6. Hope I have the patience to have just one each year until 2024. — 5 years ago
Labeled Old vines Muscat and it is part of the Classic bracket(6 to 10 of age wines used here) of fortified for the area
More powerful than the All Saints one I tried which was rare.
Chambers cellar door is an experience you shouldn't miss out on
They had probably 30/40 wines to taste
Bill Chambers 84yo there pretending he wouldn't know much and at the back empty bottles of La Tache, Yquem, Latour and Maurice O'Shea.

This is a nice medium btwn what @Victoria Scarborough and I like — 10 years ago
A cornucopia of tropical and white fruits on the nose and palate. Great viscosity in the glass and in the mouth. Long, long finish. A wonderful wine complementing roast chicken on the BGE. @Valerie O'Shea was a happy girl. — 10 years ago
I’m drinking the Obsessive Shiraz. Great length, almost star anise with meatiness. Some fruit (red currants?) at the back of the nose, but the initial impression is all protein based. Middle weight pallet, some lovely silkiness and really great length... — 9 years ago
Such an enticing and exciting nose. Very drinkable, but noticeably better after letting it air. Little more sour than I generally prefer, but I think a lot of people would enjoy this one — 9 years ago

Going back to 1986, happy birthday to @Lance Scarborough . — 10 years ago
Light straw in color. Citrus, apple, mineral, stone and saline. Lovely mouthfeel and a long finish. The only domestic plot of carricante. Drink it next to the Aeris Sicilian bottling of the same varietal for fun. Worth chasing down. Paired with @Valerie O'Shea paella. — 3 years ago
A medium bodied Pinot with great taste! Easy smooth drink, went well with cheese and crackers — 7 years ago
A lot more character than the Elizabeths.
No much lanolin yet, but a searing minerality that I reckon is peculiar to the Lovedale vineyard. This should be the vineyard planted by Maurice O'Shea in his last few years of life. Again, though, my feelings are telling me that this wine won't get much better than this, which is not an issue, we just drink it. No stress. — 7 years ago
Luscious, round, and opulent. Tastes like money. Put this in a blind tasting for some real fun. Delicious. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 @Valerie O'Shea — 9 years ago
Great wine from a terrific produce. Volley after volley of white fruit, apple and a exotic tropical component. Solid acid backbone to offset the sweetness. @Valerie O'Shea and @Nancy dwight love this producer by missed out on this bottle.
A numerical score says nothing really given the superb nature of this wine. — 9 years ago
Worthy of its reputation. Truly perfect. Even @Valerie O'Shea and@Nancy Dwight might switch from burgundy. — 10 years ago

Magnificent! So fragrant and velvety, there is a good reason hunter Shiraz used to be called Burgundy. Fruit still vibrant with lovely tertiary characters. — 6 months ago
