  The various Lindemans bin numbers and labelling has made a mess of CT. This one of a few different listings for the same wine. Anyway, this is the pinnacle of what Lindemans were producing in the Hunter until they pulled the pin after the 2014 vintage. Happy to report that the 2011 is open for business in what will be a long drinking window. Classic in its medium bodied structure and savoury profile. A pity it all went to shit for Lindemans, but not that surprising given it was just a pony in the TWE stable, glad that the Ben Ean site is in better hands these days.

  Halliday rates this 96 and a 30yr lifespan.

  Hunter Wineries (1) - Mt PLeasant & McDonald Rd: {screwcap, 13.5%, A$60} Dark blackberry fruit, pure and almost unsullied by oak. Despite only fine dusty tannins, this is medium-full bodied, with good balance along the palate, decent acidity for freshness and a dry, medium length finish. It’s still young, of course, but I thought this was a pretty tidy wine that would benefit hugely from 5-8 years cellaring. At about half the price, however, so no buy for me.
