Huon Hooke
Deepish red/purple colour; the aroma is all crushed leaves and raspberry, cassis-like primary fruit. The palate is lean and slightly lacking fruit intensity and richness. There's a slight hollowness mid-palate and a fading finish. It's a pleasant enough drop, but - at this stage - not what we might expect.

Drink: 2017 to 2032
96 Points James Halliday
An estate-grown and bottled cabernet, including 7% petit verdot and 4% each of merlot and malbec. It has considerable attitude, with crisply detailed and framed flavours that progressively gain velocity as they move across the palate towards the emphatic, balanced, finish. Drink to 2042.
