 Tasted by joraesque on 4/26/2023 & rated 90 points: Still a baby. 13% ABV. (473 views)
 Tasted by vinhonotte on 8/28/2017 & rated 94 points: Straits Wines - Brokenwood Wine Tasting (Straits Wines @ Siglap): deep and inky ruby; acidic and tannic, and full of alcohol and body, with black cherry, black pepper, liquorice, cedar, toffee; complete with a long finish; impressive! (2088 views)
 Tasted by BlackMamba on 2/23/2017 & rated 91 points: Savoury and quite deep, some smokiness. I enjoyed that. It should become more complex and broader with time. (1986 views)
 Tasted by Avid Wino on 3/20/2016 & rated 93 points: Really enjoyed drinking this. Its rare that I feel compelled to drain an entire bottle myself in one sitting, but here we are and the job is almost done. Has been too long since I cracked open a decent Hunter Shiraz. Black purple. Plum, earth, leather, blackberry. Savoury but with a core of something like molasses. Viscous, syrupy... only a little but enough to bring those things to mind. Tannin structure coats the mouth on the finish and provides a framework for the other elements of this wine to display to best effect. Fantastic. (1974 views)
 Tasted by graemeg on 1/17/2015: Hunter Valley - 6 Cellar Doors (Hunter Valley): {screwcap, 13%, A$50} Spice, earth, dust, red fruit. There’s a bit of black pepper and currant on the palate too. Mainstream modern hunter. Even and savoury, with medium tannins and body, and a medium-length finish. Nice wine, but the price is getting a bit scary. (2966 views)
 Tasted by kingkanu on 1/3/2015: New Zealand / Australia Trip Dec 2014 / Jan 2015; 12/14/2014-1/8/2015 (Auckland, Martinborough, Christchurch, Sydney, Hunter Valley): Some young vine graveyard fruit
deeper and more concentrated, plenty of tannin and quite awkward, needs plenty of time (2342 views)
