Finally the tannins have polymerised, the wine now multi - layered and delicious. We all drink Hunter Shiraz too early, this is 16 years old and just into its drinking window.

Really nice wine, loads of plums, redcurrants, blueberries, with typical Hunter earthy notes. Still fresh and interesting. This could easily last for another decade. Was just as good on the second night.

Leather and ripe berries on the nose. Meaty with nice balance and long finish. Still can age - good tannin. Wish I had another bottle to try in a couple of years.

Casual wines with Pizza: Milk chocolate with Hunter earthiness and some rather nice dark floral perfume to it as well. Good freshness on the palate, the fruit has weight but it doesn't lose its drive. Nicely composed wine that should drink well for the next 5 years.

Short decant. Dark garnet to the rim, black fruit nose, surprisingly full body for Hunter Valley Shiraz but seems a bit rough at this point in time with medium tannins and some noticeable oak. Would put aside for another 1-2 years. 89+
