huntingon Soft and cuddly nose: red cherries, cherry liqueur, almost medicinal, with some earthy notes. Palate is true to the nose: red fruits, savoury earth, wood spice, leather, old camphory wood, certainly lots of secondary characters. A wine that is orthogonal to lots of wine on the Australian market at the moment, but when consumed with food, it sits nicely in the background without feeling the need to impress and draw attention to itself.

Actually, I do fear that this was not the best bottle, because for a Huntington this is not terribly old, and it did seem to lack a bit of freshness, so I will be grabbing another bottle from the racks as soon as possible.
