2019 BROKENWOOD 7 ACRE SHIRAZ, HUNTER VALLEY
While the lighter Hunter mould is evocative of pinot to a certain degree, as well as persuasive, easier-drinking styles, there is something compelling about a midweighted wine with just a bit more tannic mettle. Here it is. Still savoury. Still light own its feet. But with an earthy beef-bouillon scent muddled with Hunter terracotta, spiced cherry, mint and classy oak. Very good drinking now. Better in several years. NG 13.5% alc.
$110 / 2033
Tell us something interesting about this wine? This wine was matured in 100 per cent French oak puncheons for 10 months, resulting in an elegant, medium-bodied shiraz that will reward cellaring over the next 10 years. It is also from the celebrated 2019 vintage, which was the third of three consecutive outstanding shiraz vintages in the Hunter Valley.
