Bloody good wine indeed, just hangs around on the palate, seriously long finish. It's another example of just how powerful Clare shiraz can be, joins Jeanneret Denis 02 as one of my best shiraz of the year to date.
I really enjoy this style of shiraz, wish I had more than two of each left.

It maybe a good wine but not for the price what they are charging now in my opinion. Remember it used to sell $30 for '01 and '02 .

I paid $50/btl for the Oracle and $30/btl (average) for the Denis, reasonable prices I thought and am content with that. I was referring to the quality of the wines anyway, not the value equation.
What are your preferred wines @ $65 from the Clare that are better? Also interested to know which less expensive wines you think are of comparable quality.
Nobody likes the way quality wines seem to keep rising in price a la Penfolds.
