St Hugo Single Vineyard ‘Fabal’ Barossa Shiraz 2018

Made with fruit from near Grenock, this is your brooding, punchy, no holds barred Barossan with muscular and powerful aromas of liquorice, tar and baked earth with sweet oak in good support. The palate is then defined by its plushness and opulence with grainy tannins providing a much needed firmness and backbone though to a long finish. A little disjointed now, this will get better with time in the bottle.
