The fruit seems suffocated by oak. Sure the earthy and medium body feels we've come to know from the Hunter are there, as is some darkish berry fruit and a shimmer of peppery spice, but it just didn't click. By no means is the oak offensive, it was just not where I thought the wine would be. I could drink a glass with a meal but not much more. Perhaps some more bottle age will help it chill out. Time will tell I guess.
