  Supple, detailed, with the glossy Brokenwood treatment.
  
  Fuller than medium bodied, this is drinking well now with a short decant.
  
  Very good to excellent. Now to 5 years. From 375ml under screw.

  This is very good and great value for money in the context of Hunter Shiraz. Purple fruits with a streak of charcuterie and liquorice. No probs drinking now either but will certainly age well. Really delicious. Silky.

  For me a nicely Rhone style Shiraz. Cool, gently plummy and white pepper. Very nice.

  Hunter Valley - 3 Cellar Doors (Hunter Valley): {screwcap, 14%, A$50} From a great Hunter vintage, this hits the right spots, even if the price is pushing things a bit. Leathery dark red fruits, soft spicy oak, a touch of leather, medium weight, with medium acid, dry and savoury dusty tannins, and a medium length finish. It’s quite dense, and seems made in a drink-now style; it’s perfectly open and expressive, with even palate presence right along the tongue. Tidy wine. We drank several more bottles at dinner (and even took some back to the hotel); it was consistent and eminently drinkable all the way along.

  Hunter Valley 2019 Trip; 3/8/2019-3/9/2019: Redcurrant, spice, pepper and earth flavours. Really nicely put together, this has a good mix of savoury and sweet elements. Good length and balance. I was impressed.
