91 Points Robert Parker
Deep garnet-purple, the 2008 Oracle Shiraz is scented of creme de cassis and blueberry tart over stewed plums, salami and black olives. Full bodied and concentrated on the palate, it has a medium to firm level of chewy tannins, enlivening acid and a long finish. Drinking now, it should keep to 2018+.

94 Points James Halliday
While the density and complexity of this wine is indubitable the surprise lies in the subdued and restrained nature of the bouquet; the palate reveals masses of black fruits, earth, spice and tar; a savoury example of big boned shiraz. Drink to 2018.
