Huon Hooke
Deep red/purple hue and an intensely spicy, fragrant, aromatic bouquet, which holds a lot of black pepper and some dried herb notes. The palate is elegant but full-bodied, with gritty graphite-like tannins and an uncannily Rhône-ish personality. Long, balanced finish with cleansing tannins. A ripping cool-climate shiraz.
