Peter Howland – Hunter Valley – http://www.peterhowlandwines.com
“Maxwell” Chardonnay 2005 – Nice nutty, mealy aromas. Very restrained palate, great balance with a streak of minerality across the length. Very impressive. 90/100
“Langley” Shiraz 2004 – Raspberry and spices. Palate is a bit dilute and short. 84/100
“Parsons” Shiraz 2004 – Lifted berry nose. Palate has lots of flavour without being too intense. Very good length. Classy. 89/100
“Pine Lodge” 2004 – Dark chocolate. gravel and mint. Palate is minty as well. Not bad but not really my preferred style. 87/100
