The nose promises classic Barossa Shiraz, with a heady and a complex mix of dark fruits and spice mingling with toasted cedar aromas which unfold over time in the glass. Elegant fine tannins are felt across the palate and the subtle oak influence yields cedar and soft charry notes on the finish. This wine is beautifully balanced, with excellent structure and length typifying the St Hugo Heritage of power and elegance.
95 Points The Wine Front
One of the newbies to the St Hugo range. First vintage release was 2008. Matured in both French and American oak. St Hugo was always Coonawarra but this is Barossa Shiraz. Released under the Jacob’s Creek name. It’s warm, rich style. Lots of guts, bound for glory. Mint, Xmas cake, saturated plums, chocolatey oak. Feels seamless and surprisingly tannic. Surprisingly well shaped too: it does what a good wine should do, and rises/extends through the finish, rather than exhausting all its tricks up front. It’s deep and brooding. It will live for a terrifically long time.
93 Points James Halliday Wine Companion
Good colour; a wine that reflects the quality of the vintage in SA; the texture and structure of this medium-bodied wine are its strong points, and the varietal fruit expression would be equally good with less enthusiastic use of oak.
93 Points Huon Hooke
Very deep, bright, bold red/purple colour. Rich, ripe blackberry and dark chocolate aroma, which translates perfectly onto the palate, where it's fleshy and rich, dense and very chocolaty. Full-bodied, ample, it really fills the mouth with flavour. The tannins are assertive but smooth and fleshy, and the wine has very good extract, with a long, long carry.
