Huon Hooke
Deepish red-purple colour. Rich, ripe, chocolate and earthy toasty vanilla aromas, some oak still evident. Red and dark fruits, with dark predominating. No leafiness but still very cabernet-like. Rich, fleshy and dense, concentrated and powerful, lots of attack and muscle, but also loads of fruit. Very good wine, still needs time. Long and tight in the tail. Best in two to 25 years.
