Hunter Wines. Are they Good?

Post by Chuck »

Just a teaser

Hunter is probably the region OS visitors to Sydney get time to experience. It must be a disapointment when expecting to taste the best of Aussie wines. Should SA, VIC, TAS and WA set up a tasting room in the Hunter to show off a true reflection of Aussie wines?

Hunter is 95% noise and 5% quality. C-thru wines at their best.

Yeah but he's picky 'bout 'em 'n 'e'll tell ya Mr Halliday don't know what 'e's torkin 'bout when 't cums ta hunta wines. Poms knows best! :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Perhaps I should open the last O'Shea 98 (GW prefers OH & OP 98) , my last remaining Hunter wine, before it slides into the same obliivion as so many forgettable Elizabeths over the last 10 years or so that would be hard-pressed to match an aged Tahbilk Marsanne of the same vintage, of which the 2000 is looking excellent.

Speaking as an Agnostic (ie: Victorian), the best Hunter reds are superb food wines, better than that overly alcoholic syrup you South Aussie guys are trying to charge the earth for! :D
