June 25, 2021 - Dense dark purple. Aroma of blackberry, pepper, light varnish. Stewed plum, cherry, milk chocolate, shrubs. Medium body, fine tannin. Requires a few hours decanting to smooth out. Green acidity,

June 5, 2021 - Last bottle. Changed a lot over 2 hours. Have kept half for tomorrow. Now quite sappy, autumnal, and very easy to drink. The added acid ebbs and flows with air, finding its balance. Very good.
Day 3
Toasty oak, coffee, cola, and sweetly spiced (cinnamon and black pepper) soft red fruits on day three.
Leather, and salty soy through the finish , it’s pleasant but still a touch disjointed. Finishes with a touch of red iron earth and rusted iron tannins.
Best drinking two hours or so after opening.
Will hold, but I can’t see this improving a whole lot.
This wine captures well the time when Hunter were trying to capture the attention of wine drinkers seeking big and oaked Barossa wines of the time.1 person found this helpful Comment -

April 24, 2021 - Agree with ProfBryan. Heaps of acid. Overwhelming hints of traditional Aussie Shiraz. After an hour or so it calmed down / subtle tannins - marginal leather notes (maybe more hope than fact). Will aerate and breathe next one for at least 2 hours. Not convinced but better a food wine than drinking wine at this point.

April 2, 2020 - Pop and pour and I’m not agreeing with screwcaps (below). Acid is prominent, a touch of noticeable oak, and certainly tannin. There’s some nice flavour here but it’s struggling when the acid on the finish sweeps it away.
A food wine at present.
Let me see after some breathing....hmm, softens, becomes more noticeably traditional Ozzie shiraz... distinctive greasepaint smell of added acid.
