Huon Hooke
Deep, concentrated, saturated red-purple colour; work the glass and give it air and a superb aroma of blackberry emerges, a note of star anise too; it's concentrated and ripe, rich and dense and fleshy in the mouth. Intense flavour is backed by lashings of tannin, leaving a solid grip and some alcohol warmth on the finish and aftertaste.
