Dark fruit, liquorice, violet, medium-bodied, plenty of tannin and earthiness, plumper style (in context), perfume, raspberry and earth leads on to a fine finish. Slight chalkiness to tannin, underlining the wine. There’s plenty to get into here. It’s drinking well now, and is easy to like. Accessible, you might say.

A mid ruby. From a site abutting 4 Acres, planted in 2003. Digestible and mid weighted, the signatures of the Hunter. Sweet loam and terracotta aromas, the calling card. Larger oak and judicious extraction, the conduits. Sarsaparilla, bergamot, violet, sweet red and black cherry and a sluice of anise. More intensity than the Mother, with similar sap, a bit more flare and greater pinosity.
