Huon Hooke
Deep, red/brick-red colour. Savoury, earthy, oaky, developed and wood-driven bouquet. Licorice and spirity alcohol heat dominate the palate. Overripe and lacking elegance and balance. Very heavy and thickly textured, hot and clumsy. 15.5% alcohol takes over the palate. Not a wine I want to drink.
