Huon Hooke
Deep red, slight purple. Rich nose; ripe, warm-year bouquet: meaty and berried. Rich ripe flavours too: deep and fleshy, concentrated and tannic, mouthcoating: a sumptuous wine. Very good. Dense rich, fleshy, sweet fruit and lively acid; very driving palate and firm grippy aftertaste. Long term. Now to 12+ years.

The 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 407 displays a saturated ruby/purple color as well as classic aromas of cedar and cassis, medium to full body, considerable fruit, sweet tannin, and adequate acidity. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. Source: Robert Parker (Wine Advocate) June, 2001 by Robert Parker
