Bright crimson-purple; this is the 27th release of St Hugo, and fittingly has won a trophy and five gold medals, likely with more to come; it has an abundance of blackcurrant fruit plus nuances of regional earth and mint, then the tannins providing structure for long and distinguished ageing.

Perfumed. Lovely introduction. Violets, peppercorns, mint and cedary oak. Palate is fruity but interesting, with undergrowth and blackcurrant, dried herbs and milk chocolate. Lots of minty, milky chocolate. Some smoky oak too. Juicy finish. Fine, rippling tannin. Very good St Hugo.
