Huon Hooke
Deep red colour with a good tinge of purple, the bouquet showing red fruits galore, raspberry, redcurrant, red cherry and green herbs. Some oyster-shell and coffee grounds. Fruit driving the nose, but the palate adds firm tannins and a touch of oak. It's very grippy, and the oaky-bitter aftertaste is a bit forbidding.
