Score 91/100 · Drink 2012-2018, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Dec 2011

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+.

Score 91/100 · Josh Raynolds, Jul 2011

Opaque purple. Pungent, oak-spiced aromas of black and blue fruit compote, vanilla and mocha, with slow-building smoke and pepper notes. Rich and full on entry, then more taut in the middle, offering pliant cassis and bitter cherry flavors accented by oak. Finishes with surprising energy for a big wine, with the vanilla note repeating. This won't convince Old World purists but its depth and richness are pretty impressive.
