Huon Hooke
Deepish red/purple colour, youthful. The bouquet has a strong whole-bunch component: an ashy, peppery, root vegetable thing. The wine is full-bodied and has a belt of alcohol warmth on the back-palate and aftertaste. There are also ample tannins adding a touch of astringency and chew on the follow-through. Very good intensity and abundant ageing potential.

The supremely fragrant bouquet has a platform of black fruits so tightly laced with charcuterie, licorice, spice and black pepper you can't break free until you reach the mouthwatering, medium-bodied palate of exceptional length and balance, the texture silk with a velvet rim. Drink to 2045.
