Huon Hooke
Medium to deep red colour, purple tints. Earthy and oaky bouquet, savoury and mellowing, not very varietal. Rather taut, lean, tannic and firm without a lot of fruit or charm. Grippy aftertaste: needs protein. Somewhat unbalanced. No doubt this would be much better - indeed attractive - with food.
