Review

A fully mature Hunter shiraz in great voice at 35 years old. It's very complex and full of leathery, earthy, 'roasting pan' regional Hunter character; concentrated, deep and satisfying. A big, drought-year wine, which is holding its stature well." Tasted July 2018

Tasting Profile

Nose
Delicate and fine nose, aged Shiraz fruit, raspberries, earth, blackcurrant cordial, cherry kitsch, lovely.
Palate
Flavours are muted, slight redcurrant tartness, tannins are very distant (most were encrusted on the inside of the bottle), interesting. Day 2 and this is lovely. Refined and delicate. There’s a tiny prune note, it’s fresh, anise and Christmas, red fruit. Very good. 41 years old and drinking superbly.
