Huon Hooke
Excellent depth and hue of colour, still youthful and bright; the bouquet very complex with crisp blackcurrant, violet, gently leafy cabernet family aromas leading into a tremendously elegant and beautifully focused palate. It's elegant and subtle, reflecting its low alcohol, but also very intense, concentrated and long. A superb wine, with just a tinge of 'animal' creeping in as the wine warmed and breathed - but not enough to concern me.
