Huon Hooke
Deep rich red with a trace of purple lingering; the bouquet is big on coconut/vanilla/chocolate oak infused characters. It's full bodied and firm, with oaky tannins galore to match the bouquet. A sappiness in the texture also disturbs, and calls out for food. It's too oaky now: I wouldn't touch it for at least 5 years.
