Stuart McCloskey "The bouquet is immense and takes time to unfold. Anise, raspberry, dried cherries, rosehip, warm earth, clove, an abundance of spice, leather, beef broth, bacon fat, coffee and orange zest bring the epic bouquet to a close… The palate feels energetic and shows no sign of ageing fatigue. The back label suggests 10-years in the cellar. We’re at 15 and there’s a good few years left in the old-girl. Equally, the palate is jam packed with flavours and shows lots of old-school charm – it feels wild and untamed in the sense that very little has interfered with the grape-to-bottle journey. Textbook Hunter Valley terroir articulates through the abundance of spice and earthy notes. Leather, wild hedgerow fruits and coffee join in… This is long, spritely, and wonderfully umami with more beef broth. Tremendously delicious. I suggest an hour in the decanter and serve in Zalto’s Burgundy glass (the big bowl helps to develop the bouquet and flavour – the narrowed rim keeps-in the wondrous bouquet and reduces contact with the air). Drink now to 2028+.”
