Huon Hooke
A fabulously concentrated cassis cabernet and vanillan oak bouquet leads into a whopper of a wine with lots of alcohol heat - it must be at least 15%, despite what the label says. The palate is intense, focused, tight and finely-grained, with amplitude and fruit-sweetness, great length and style. A full-throttle rendition.
