Tastes: Man, this wine makes me very happy. I have tasted many Meerea Park shirazes in the last few years and while I liked them, I was worried they were not 'Hunter' enough in their use of oak. Boy, nothing to worry about here! This is medium bodied, earth come leather come red fruits Hunter shiraz through and through with meaty tannins and a long long finish. Crying out for meat, this is simply a gorgeous wine. I honestly don't know what more to say...
