Aged Hunter fun (Frank's place in Matraville): Perfumed, sweet spice, peppery; very peppery, earthy, ripe plums, smells dense, with a little black cherry, a little smoked bacon, a little ripe plum tending to prune. Dense, rich, savoury, peppery, plummy, earthy, leathery tannins. The fruit is a little sour. Okayish.

This thing must have been nothing but oak on release. It's still very noticeable but the fruit is giving it a good run. Savoury red and black fruits, black olives, herbs and classic Hunter earth. If only there was less oak, this could have been a great wine. I had the same vintage last year which was almost dead but this one had plenty of life left despite the cork crumbling into a million pieces trying to extract.
