Ralph Kyte-Powell 93 Points!
"The Bordeaux blend is still arguably the
most successful of all grapes or blends
from the Yarra Valley. At relatively
low alcohols the wines are elegant,
perfumed and ripe. While approachable
as a young wine " the 2011 Hugh will
age gracefully for twenty plus years.
In this wine Cabernet Sauvignon is the
dominant variety and is complimented by
Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
Colour: Bright garnet.
Nose: A precise complex nose of fresh
raspberries, dark cherries and plums,
joins with savoury herbs, and pencil
shavings.
Palate: Dark bramble and herbal characters.
Moves into a firm and detailed palate
of savoury meats and elegant balanced
tannins.
