A structural shift in grape source for this vintage now with 20% sourced from the Rosehill vineyard as well as Old Hill and Old Paddock. Chatto said this adds a separate dimension of spice. Not as interesting as pre-Rosehill IMO. Doesn't have the Hunter DNA I think but the Mt Pleasant team are very happy with it. Another very good vintage in the Hunter. — 9 years ago

An interesting Syrah in a good sort of way. Jammy cherry gives way to a good dose of pepper and spice. Pairs well with Rose's pork adobo! — 10 years ago

Mind blowing small production Pomerol style Merlot that will convert a CabSauv drinker. Big fuller style body with tannin, dry plum skins. Mild earthiness. If you think of Merlot as the varietal that made Blackstone famous then this will change your mind and begin your journey to Pomerol. — 8 years ago

ALDI's top shelf Shiraz and I was pleasantly surprised. At $20, it's up there with Pepperjacks 2014, and more mature in the bottle. — 10 years ago

From some very old vineyards in the Hunter Valley. Old Paddock planted in 1921 and the Old Hill planted in 1880. Polished leather aromas. Big and savoury with a long future remaining. Dry tannins. 17+ This is the 2006 vintage. — 10 years ago
