Old Murray Tyrell said his Hunter red wines were different from other local vineyards in that they tasted like a sweaty saddle but only after it had been used by a virgin.

I had a bit to do with Murray in the 60's. I remember he apologised to me when he put the price of his Long Flat Red up from 45 cents to 50 cents

His 1969 long flat red was one of the best value reds I ever bought. I am sure it was 60 cents. I forgot I bought 2 dozen and left a dozen under my bed at home when I began at RPAH in 1970. It was discovered 6 years later. It had aged incredibly well and in 81 or 82 I took it along to a farewell to a long standing wine club member. Some of us were assigned to bring along a bottle in a brown paper bag. I took along that long flat red. Voted wine of the night. Someone had brought along a bottle of Grange.
