  Pale garnet with a rose-brick hue, clear meniscus. Typical Hunter River Burgundy aromatics, cherry, leather, baking spices; light to medium bodied, bright acid spine, tannins fully resolved now, sour cherry tones with a slight dusting of dried herb, the Chinese medicine note less prominent than the previous bottle, good length. 12% ABV.

  1988 vintage rated 4/10 on Langtons. Wet summer and vintage.
  
  Pale garnet. Sour cherry, baking spices, notes of earth and leather. Light to medium bodied, grapefruit acid spine, sour cherries, leather and Chinese medicine, cleaner winemaking compared to some of the Tyrrell's from the same generation.
