Hunter Wineries (1) - Mt PLeasant & McDonald Rd: {screwcap, 14%, A$20} All Hunter fruit again, I think. Still smells very juicy and jube-like. Quaffers need to be fruity, and I doubt there are any ambitions for aging this any more. It’s very lightly oaked, is soft and spicy on the palate; has a touch of earth; doesn’t taste as overtly fruity as the nose implied. Medium-bodied, but finishes just on the short side. To drink, not keep.

Drank really well after careful cellaring. Retained good fruit and tannins.

Hunter Valley Visit 2013; 4/26/2013-4/29/2013 (Hunter Valley, Australia): Earth, florals and spices. Good acidity on the restrained palate. Classic Hunter Shiraz style.
