  {screwcap, 13%} A generation later for this wine, and Lindemans Hunter River is really a footnote in Australian wine history. Will there ever be any more ‘Bin xx00’ reserve wines I wonder? Doubt it, somehow. Maybe we should be grateful for even this offering. Medium ruby colour. Spiced fruits and a little earthiness, but really mostly berry fruits. A wine of medium weight all round, with dusty tannins, a warm, rich, and quite nicely balanced palate. Doesn’t really scream ‘Hunter terroir’ at this stage yet, but has a tightly wound feel; a solid warm-climate not-too-lavish shiraz with some structure and the potential to age well enough in the medium term. Should develop more personality with a bit of cellar time.
