Drinking very nicely at the moment. Dark fruits, cigar box and some typical hunter earthy/leathery undertones. Probably close to its peak but should hold for a few years yet.

Very intense fruit but not overripe. There is a tartness to the wine that is attractive. Lots of red fruit and plums on the palate, along with the earthiness you expect from the Hunter. Good acidity and a granular tannin backbone. This should continue to improve for a few years.

Nice wine. Medium bodied with restrained fruit. Typical Hunter earthy notes. In a sweet spot right now.
