Region/G.I.: Central Ranges, Mudgee
Vintage: 2004
Closure: screwcap
Colour: Purple/brown with a brownish hue
Alcohol: 13.2%
Bouquet: Some milk chocolate in the nose, alongside blackcurrant and cocoa dust
Flavour: Dense and complex with blackcurrant, grainy, sawdust like gentle tannins and some tobacco leaf in there as well. A little liquorice on the tongue to add to the complementary array for the taste buds. Not over the top although there is a lot there.
Points: 89 (4+8+12+8+8+50)
Notes: It is funny that both F. and I had this in second place, although the group ranked it 3rd of our 6 wines. One of the younger wines and under screwcap so not as aged as those under cork, this was a delight. We missed Huntington Estate in our recent trip to Mudgee but will have to add it to the next one. This bottle was given free last year at a tasting in Sydney. Remarkable. Twp days after opening and the last, little half serve is still a delight
