As ever, the St Hugo range, which picks the eyes out of regions, varieties and blends, provides us with some stellar drinking. This famous Barossa red blend is youthful, but it comes from such a fine vintage and is so seductive and generous, that it is compelling drinking. A crimson purple colour, the nose is just a combination of beautiful fragrances. Fresh cherries, chocolate/cherry notes, florals, violets and blueberries. If that does not sound enticing, then perhaps gorgeous reds are not for you. Seductive texture and silky tannins, this is finely balanced and offering excellent length. There is a little touch of nutty oak on the finish. Great drinking now, but it has at least another five to eight years of pleasure ahead of it.
