Hunter Wineries (1) - Mt PLeasant & McDonald Rd: {screwcap, 14.5%, A$39} Exotic nose of jam, Turkish delight and oriental spices. For acid, tannin, body, it qualifies as medium all round; the flavours do resemble the nose but have a surprisingly earthy, dry aspect to them, helped along by finely-textured powdery tannins. A silky, medium-length finish caps off the dry palate; interesting wine which might be better with some development under its belt.

Hunter Valley Visit 2013; 4/26/2013-4/29/2013 (Hunter Valley, Australia): Floral, violets and spice aromatics. Good tannin structure overlaid with savoury fruit. Good length.
