Carefully judged oak completes a wine of real finesse - and low alcohol.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Huon Hooke · 2005 Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\n“Deep red purple, excellent colour for its age. Earthy, peppery, seashell regional character; very Hunter but also clean and tech good. Palate is full-bodied, deep, rich, vibrant and powerful. This is a top vintage. Lots of pepper. Very long, piercing, driving palate, very vigorous and youthful, has a great future ahead.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Huon Hooke · 2005 Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\n“Deep, and quite youthful red with a tinge of purple, the bouquet rich and plummy, with some primary fruit still evident, the palate firm and drying with a lot of savoury notes and earthy leathery regional nuances.
