5 Stars
Huon Hooke
Deep, bright red/purple colour, youthful appearance. It's brightly fruity, loaded with cassis and fresh blackcurrant aromas, also mint and a trace of violet. Lovely fruit aromas. It's full-bodied and firm, tightly structured and elegant, long and suave, and has all the makings of a superb cabernet in time. A handsome young wine with a big future.

A fitting tribute to Margaret River's father, Dr John Gladstones. A Cirque du Soleil wine, immensely complex, yet feline and sure-footed as it plays with fresh cassis fruit, fine-grained sandy tannins and French oak of the highest quality, rearranging these components again and again. Drink to 2048.
