Huon Hooke
Deep red colour with a good tint of purple, the bouquet chocolaty and rich, with overtones of cocoa powder and vanillan oak aplenty. It's big and dense on the tongue, with abundant chewy tannins, ameliorated by a core of fruit sweetness. Mocha, cocoa and coffee flavours. Amazing length. A very big, dense, rich and concentrated wine, which also has loads of allure. It will age long-term.
