Huon Hooke
Deep purple/red, youthful and bright, the bouquet clean and fresh and loaded with dark-cherry and blackberry aromas, the palate full-bodied, round and soft-textured. The tannins are ample but very fine and seamless, belying its obvious long-term ageing potential. Rich as plush and soft as silk. Power delivered with elegance. Subtle hints of spice. It's still very young and undeveloped, and promises much in the future.
