One of the Hunter Valleys premium Cuvees honouring the legendary Maurice O’Shea. Very dark ruby - impenetrable in colour. Aromatics of sweet earth - very earthy - plum, red berry and dark chocolate - very Hunter Valley. Amazingly strong for a 27 year old wine. Very Rich, full bodied and concentrated for a Hunter Valley wine. I’ve commented on this before that there was a period of 10 plus years where HV wines were made to imitate South Australian wines - ripe and full bodied. This wine represents that style. Thankfully the current style is more medium bodied but nevertheless this is an outstanding wine with at least 10 plus years left in it. — 2 days ago

Celebrating Bastille Day with the spring dinner of the Confrerie St Etienne of Alsace association. Wonderful menu and perfectly paired wines.

A unique blend...Pinot Blanc and muscat. The muscat was most noticeable on the nose and finish, showing some sharp, sweetened pear and honeycomb. The pinot Blanc was dominant on the front and mid palate with melon, honeysuckle and almond. — 8 years ago

Delicious, bright, great depth of flavor. Tasted beautifully with a loaded hummus (fresh cucumbers, peppers, olive oil) and heavier cheese and fatty meats. — 4 months ago

Highly enjoyable, on the fruitier side (cherries, raspberries) with some nice undergrowth and a hint of mushroom.
On the palate nicely balanced with the fruit a touch too sweet. Not too much depth but a perfectly fine everyday Burgundy at a very reasonable price. — 9 months ago

After tasting aux chaillots 2014 last week and seeing that fully soaked cork I went on and opened one aux damodes in the same vintage. I believe it's my very last bottle...
The nose is showing a bit of age with strawberry and cherry notes, hay and that irony thing I like so much with Pinot Noir from burgundy. There is almost a rusty touch in the nose that makes me think that we shouldn't be waiting some more to pop and pour this one. The palate is superb. Good acid drive, superb fruity notes all along with cherry and strawberry playing hide-and-seek all along, superb mid palate with a layer of tannins that disrupts a rather easy going, fruity palate so far, and a finish with fruit and that nice layer created in mid palate for a good while. It's fresh, it's fruity, it has a touch of complexity and character you could expect from.a wine with this pedigree. Awesome! — 5 years ago
