Huon Hooke
Medium-full red-purple. Good colour. Still has primary fruit: mulberry, plum and blueberry. Savoury, drying palate, liberal tannin and fruit is just in balance with it. A traditional claret style. Lively, firmish, nice enough, although tannin demands it be drunk with food. Lacks both complexity & charm, but it's still young.
