My first time to try this wine and I’m quite surprised. Vivid medium garnet. Very intense nose, earthy, eucalyptus and menthol. Medium body, very soft with slight tannins left, marked acidity that is well integrated and makes the wine more mellow. Similar earthy flavours, minty, red berries. Very intense flavours throughout with an excellent red berries earthy finish. Well developed and drinks nicely now , but I’m sure it can offer further development in the future. Excellent wine and really unusual Australian Cabernet. I like it.

Love the nose on this puppy. Blueberries and blackberry fruit, violets, charred meat, cigar box. Soft and smooth on the palate, purely delicious. Went down a treat. Drink and enjoy. A special wine in the Aussie stable. (94 Excellent wine)

On the nose, there is little hint of it’s a Hunter origins although on the palate the Hunter earth underlies a complex palate of seamless Cabernet dominant flavours. The lightness on the palate is a feature of the wine that effortlessly integrates the fruit, oak and fresh acid spine. It is well worth holding the remaining two bottles for a few years to see if there is any further development. I suspect however it may well be marginal.
