Huon Hooke
Smooth, rich, fleshy and gentle, but not a great deal of varietal fruit definition. Coconutty. Fruit quality is good: ripeness is correct. Dusty oak character; slightly spicy. Savoury. Fleshy and well flavoured and structured. Good length and a tidy, clean firm finish that persists.
Tasted: 22/11/2010
Drink: 2011 to 2030

Purple-crimson; a fragrant bouquet of blackcurrant, blackberry and plum leads into a medium-bodied palate with excellent texture and structure, especially meritorious given the modest alcohol; a very elegant style with a long future. Drink to 2033.
