Huon Hooke
Very deep red/purple hue - a great colour - and a cedary oak and blueberry, blackberry cabernet bouquet with tinges of violet. The palate is firm and tannic, long and gripping, with serious structure and long-term aging potential. This seems more tannic than previous young DMs. Definitely one to cellar. Great potential. (89% cabernet sauvignon; minor amounts of petit verdot, merlot, malbec and cabernet franc)
