One of Australia’s great red wines, the 2019 Maurice O’Shea Shiraz is concentrated and intense. It’s hard to imagine how so much flavor could be packed into just one glass. And never mind that; I tasted a 2014 the other week (not old by any stretch of the imagination), and it had not moved an inch from inception, which bodes well for long-term cellaring. You get roasted lamb crust (blood, fat, rosemary, pepper, etc.), salted pomegranate, clove bud, crushed rocks, nutmeg and sandalwood. It is getting better and better in the glass, and I just know that a couple of days on the bench will not harm it. In fact, it may coax the soft core of perfect fruit from the very heart of the tannins. What a sensational wine. It will only get better for those who are patient.
