James Halliday – 95 Points – 5 Glasses
"A powerful, concentrated wine reflecting all the vineyard and winery inputs; focused and rich, retaining supple mouthfeel and good balance. Low yield, French oak, no filtration.”
Drink:
Now to 2020.
- James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2009.
"Kilikanoon's Oracle Shiraz is now in its tenth year, like Kilikanoon. It has racked up quite an impressive array of gold medals, tropies and high scores from the world's leading wine writers.
Winning the International Wine Challenge Trophy for Best Shiraz (world wide) with the 2005 Oracle is perhaps the crowning achievement, as the IWC is the world's biggest wine competition.
We are proud of Kevin Mitchell and his winemaking team esepcially Tim McNeill, and of course Mort Mitchell, Kevin's father, who planted and tended the vines which produce this magnificent wine."
