5 Stars
Huon Hooke
Medium to deep red/purple colour with a bright, youthful primary fruit aroma invoking red cherry, raspberry and some blackberry. It's very fruit-driven. The palate is medium-bodied and elegantly crafted, with balance and persistence - red fruits predominating. An understated style, which treads the narrow path of ripeness beautifully.

Medium garnet-purple colored, the 2014 Quintet has a broody earth and sautéed herbs-laced nose with a core of baked cherries, red plums and mulberries plus a touch of new leather. Light-bodied and elegantly fruited in the mouth, the delicate red fruit flavors are nicely matched by a light grip of chewy tannins, finishing with great freshness.
