Class Comments A very mixed bag, with several highlights but too many over oaked and spoilt wines. V.A., brett and over-acidification were problems. Top wines were a contrast, 19 being well structured and powerful, 36 being supple and seductive. Both were medium-bodied, typical Hunter styles. Good to see an absence of alcoholic blockbusters.
