Huon Hooke
Deep, dark purple/red. Amazing colour for its age. Spicy and toasty oaky aromas, intense and complex, albeit fairly oak-accented. Very good flavour and structure, intense and focused, quite high in tannins but soft and fleshy, with tightly focused, concentrated flavour of spices and dark-cherry fruit. Great flavour and structure, which lingers long on the farewell. Excellent wine indeed. Still very youthful. Long-term aging.
