Extremely earthy with notes of mushroom and root vegetables. On palate cherry with medium intensity and medium dry tannins. Very Hunter Valley still with a 10+ year future. No doubt the Hunter Valley Wines more than most Aussie sub-regions are built for extended ageing.

Aug 29th, 2018Notes of dusty dark plum with raspberry, earth, dark chocolate and leather. Savoury notes of sweaty saddle with a touch of menthol. Like a traditional middle weight Hunter Valley red with more oomph. Silky tannins - an excellent dry red. Really enjoyed this and very easy to keep sipping on it. If you have any you could keep for several more years. From vines planted by Maurice O’Shea in 1946.
