Excellent. Good to see an old favourite again in a superb year. Amazing value at price. 14% alc. Colour: deep black berries Bouquet: ripe black and blue berries and dark cherries, liquorice, black pepper Palate: as bouquet, with touches of chocolate, spice and earth, medium bodied but full flavoured and good mouthfeel. Some vanilla oak and lovely soft tannins but with fruit dominant. Very dry long finish. Classic Hunter shiraz with soft fruit and smooth palate, though perhaps more alcohol than usual.Still very fresh. June 2021

Decanted 1 hr and drank over 2.5 hrs. I must say it probably improved over time.. but was disappointed with such a stellar vintage. I will try again 2014 .. but suspect the "flat" nature won't improve.
