Huon Hooke
Deep red colour, with a faint purple tinge. Earth and spice aromas, rich and fully ripe with a slightly sooty, burnt overtone. Firm finish; deep and balanced, quite concentrated. A serious if slightly old-fashioned red.

Drink: 2013 to 2026
94 Points James Halliday
Crimson-purple; a traditional Mudgee blend, perhaps, but a very good one, with plum, blackberry and blackcurrant all on display on the generous medium- to full-bodied palate; the handling of oak and tannins is impressive. Drink to 2030.
