Huon Hooke
Deep bright red-purple colour, youthful and fresh, the bouquet of meaty/charcuterie, dry-spices and freshly tilled earth. In the mouth it's very savoury, very drying, loaded with fine silty tannins, an elegant St Henri but this time with quite assertive tannins that dominate the finish. Give it time.
