Huon Hooke
Deep red colour with a flick of purple and a smoky, straw and dried-herb bouquet, with bayleaf notes. It’s full-bodied and very firm, the tannins gritty and sinewy, the wine built on savoury flavours and aromas (not fruitiness per se) and masses of firm tannins. It's a little tough right now and will reward cellaring.
