Brokenwood Hunter Shiraz 2018

Share

From a truly brilliant year for reds in the Hunter, this is as impressive as you would wish. Spices, ripe fruits, truffles and dark berries. This is exhibiting a wonderful plushness. From the younger vines in the Tallawanta, Graveyard, Mistress and Verona vineyards, so it has an impeccable provenance. There is focus and length and surely a really exciting future. If someone handed you this and told you that it was a winery’s standard, bottom of the rung offering (and I mean all this in the most positive sense), you would immediately know two things. This is a seriously impressive winery and the wine comes from a scintillating vintage. Right on both counts.
