Huon Hooke
Deep red colour, brick-red edge. Shy, restrained, somewhat oaky bouquet, walnutty. Savoury flavours, big and full-bodied with masses of tannins which really dry the mouth. Very solid wine. Firm and ageworthy. Has years left in it.
Tasted: 01/08/2012
Drink: 2013 to 2024
90 Points James Halliday
Medium red-purple; smooth plum fruit with a hint of mulberry and soft oak leads into a well balanced palate, with skilled oak handling, soft, ripe tannins and gentle plummy fruit. Drink to 2009.
