Huon Hooke
Deep-ish red-purple colour; mulberry, cassis and cranberry notes in the bouquet, which is fresh and vibrant, bell-clear fruit also translating to the palate, where the tannins are mild and supple yet insistent. Long, long finish. A classy wine with the character and structure of fully ripened cabernet, and undertones of tar and machine-oil from the malbec. A serious red wine with long-term potential.
