Huon Hooke
Deep, bright red/purple colour, with youthful clarity and freshness. The bouquet is mulberry, blackcurrant and blackberry scented, very cabernet but also rich and ripe and minimally leafy. The wine is full-bodied and the tannins are very assertive, coating the entire mouth and leaving a drying sensation that lingers. There are smoky, mocha and graphite touches on the aftertaste. The farewell lingers for a long time. This is a long-term Bin 407.
