Huon Hooke
Medium-light brick-red, developing colour with a trace of purple remaining; savoury shelled nuts, seasoned leather and toasty barrel aromas, a hint of dried animal skin. The wine is medium weighted and very savoury, with liberal tannins which are fine-boned and drying, powdery and earthy/terracotta-like. Mouth-watering, delicious medium bodied wine, structured to go with food. Typical nebbiolo and typical Langhe. A very smart and eye-opening wine. (A collaboration between Tar & Roses' Narelle King and Davide Rosso of Giovanni Rosso.) Points: 92/100
