February 27, 2022 - A bit simple but pleasant drinking. Raspberry notes, light bodied. Probably not a long term proposition but nice enough.

March 8, 2020 - I’m on the 2016 Old Hutt. It’s junior Tyrrells Four Acres. Light and sweetly spicey, almost Pinot like, until the finish which is all herbs, spice, and meat. Light bodied. Slippery, but finishes quite short. Hopefully with air overnight it will thicken up.

February 9, 2020 - {screwcap, 13.5%} Bright garnet, but quite translucent. Could almost pass for Pinot. Blackberry, cranberry, white pepper. Ripe but savoury in style, as the palate reinforces with red fruit flavours, and a fairly light and open texture, medium/high acidity, and low/medium faintly gritty tannins, with minimal oak evident. A bit of smoke and tobacco, but also a spiced fruit quality. Is medium weight, certainly, with good front and mid-palate presence; finishes about medium length, with a sweet fruit twist. Will see another 5-8 years easily, might pick up further dimension too. Decent wine.

October 11, 2018 - Moderately light in colour. Fruity. Green stalks. One of the few Hunter Shiraz I found I like.

January 20, 2018 - Hunter Valley - 4 Cellar Doors (Hunter Valley): {screwcap, 13.5%, A$30} Rich blackberry, tangy spices. Loose palate, generous fruit; open, even a touch jammy. Low/medium dusty tannins, medium weight, little oak, medium length finish dies off on the back palate. Fair value only.
