St Hugo Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Matured 18 months in (49% new) 92/4/4% French/American/Hungarian oak barrels. Varietally exact and consummately engineered for the long haul, this is a quintessential St Hugo of might and poise. Deep, ripe black/redcurrants and cassis mark out a long palate, accented with sage and impeccably braced with classy French oak and a mouth-filling splay of fine tannins. Bright acidity completes a long finish. Drink by: 2043. Score - 95. (Tyson Stelzer, winecompanion.com.au, Aug. 13, 2021) Matured 18 months in (49% new) 92/4/4% French/American/Hungarian oak barrels.
