Very good wine, better than the Vat 6 of some years. 13% alc. Colour: bright dark cherry Bouquet: smokey strawberry and cherry, savoury charry oak characters Palate: as bouquet, quite full bodied and developed forest floor and mushroom and Burgundian characters, long and very dry finish. Good acid and balance. September 2015

Excellent, 13% alc. Colour: dark red berry Bouquet: spicey red fruits, raspberry and strawberry Palate: as bouquet, nice balance between fruit and oak, good firm soft but grippy tannins, long palate, good firm mid body. Meaty and forest floor flavours after breathing a couple of hours. Great mouth feel, and berry dry finish. Better than the Vat 6 for this year that we tasted back in January because it has more fresh fruit. March 2015

Hunter Valley - 6 Cellar Doors (Hunter Valley): {screwcap, 13%, A$20} Light garnet. Soft, vague berry aromas; not terribly intense. A bit glue-like on the palate. Some ripe red fruit, but simple and easy. Little oak, light-bodied, minimal tannins, fairly short finish which lingers on the front palate only. A kind of Beaujolais plus some hunter dirt. Quaff.
