Campbell Mattinson 93+ points!
Campbell Mattinson 93+ points!A classic example of St Hugo Cabernet Sauvignon and indeed of Coonawarra cabernet.
Medium-bodied. Claret-esque. Doesn't hit you between the eyes with its impressiveness and yet it delivers an essential experience of Coonawarra cabernet. It tastes of mint/eucalypt, blackcurrant, bay leaves and integrated chocolatey oak. It's seamless, clean, juicily acidic and perfectly well balanced. Nothing pokes out.. it's a wine to feel confident about. Tannin builds gradually. Pretty much exactly what you'd hope for from a St Hugo.
Wine Front, 5th September 2013.
"Deep red/purple colour. Mint and eucalyptus tinged bouquet, also licorice and black olive. The taste is appealing in flavour, and it has some grip and textural charm. The acidity is fresh and zingy on the palate and finish. Good wine and will age well."
