1996 Orlando St. Hugo Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

St. Hugo has been a consistent performer in the past and this is a very credible vintage. Very deep crimson colour. Aromas of ripe blackcurrant, spice, cedar, ripe plums and chocolate. Full bodied palate with flavours of blackcurrant, liquorice and toasted oak with a plum chocolate background. Fine grained tannins, excellent balance, followed by long spice, chocolate, liquorice, blackcurrant and cedar aftertaste. Cellar 5-8 years.
