  This wine seems much denser than the previous bottle a year or so ago so maybe in a dumber phase at present? But gee the quality is good. Deep dark black scarlet in colour, with a nose of blackberries, spice and toasty oak. Glossy shiraz fruit palate and a kick-in-the-gums furry tannin at the finish. Should be spectacular but leave alone for now….2026?, 18.25<18.5 and quite a bargain.

  Deep, dark. ashen and brooding.
  
  Pretty aromatics have sunk deep in to the wine, this is a bit of a tannic monster right now.
  
  Like is for quality, rather than drinking pleasure.
  
  Its in a bit of a hard going phase right now, but it will live a very long time.
  
  Served this blind, and from memory of the last bottle, this really surprised.
  
  This is excellent, but its currently not open for busines with a wall of charry tannin. So much so that wagyu did not tame it.
  
  Impressive more than enjoyable at this point, almost age ten.
  
  Wait another 3-5 and check back in in the hope that it will drop some tannin and find the elegance this vineyard is known for.
  
  Far out, 2014s are living up to the then hype.
  
  Hold.

  About as good as Hunter Shiraz gets, at least for me. Long life ahead but the balance part seems to be in order now. Great on release, then in a real flat spot. Now it has come good but still youthful and acid driven.

  Wow. What a few years has done to this. Maybe it’s gone into a dumb phase? It’s showing like a monolithic McLaren Vale or Barossan shiraz right now. The colour is deep and impenetrable. The nose big and boozy and the palate oaky and blowsy. Seems that the bright fruit on release has now receded. Hopefully time will bring it back into balance? Anyone seeing the same?
