Huon Hooke
Deepish red with a residue of purple tinge, the bouquet very cabernet-ish with tobacco and olive-like aromas and flavours. It's starting to show some attractive mellowness. There is very good intensity and remarkable depth, the tannins firmer than the previous reds tasted (pinot and various grenache blends). There is plenty of raspberry here as well as hints of spice and leafiness, the latter happily very subtle. (66% shiraz, 19% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot, 5% cabernet franc)
