Quite Rhone like, with earth, red/black fruits, dark chocolate and less obvious spice, this is a little more rustic in style than the 2017 but of similar quality 18.25 (309 views) | | | Tasted by sharonandroland on 8/3/2019 & rated 94 points: Violets, chocolate, black pepper. Wonderful with great aging potential. (768 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 11/28/2017: Whistestop Hunter tour (Hunter Valley): Soft plums, gently spice, slightly sour cherry and wet clay. Fruit is slightly more unripe than the 2014's but this nicely done.

Lovely acidity here, the wine is long, delicate and really well balanced. Fantastic stuff. (2394 views) | | | Tasted by graemeg on 1/17/2015: Hunter Valley - 6 Cellar Doors (Hunter Valley): {screwcap, 13.5%, A$125} With this many shirazes off the same vineyards, in similar seasons, it’s rather harder to distinguish these one after another than if they were side-by-side on the table. That acknowledged, this is as stupendously pure as its ‘Mountain’ siblings, perhaps the extra depth of concentration apparent is due to its relative youth; it’s remains medium/full-bodied, and still purely fruit-driven. As we ascend the scale quality of these 2011/13 Mount Pleasant shirazes, what becomes the distinguishing feature between the ‘cru’ is the evenness with which they coat the tongue, and the length and polish of the finish. This is pretty much the top of the tree in that regard; the finish seems endless yet beguiling; it’s not about power, just purity. Wonderful wine; shame about the price, obviously. (2608 views) |
