Hutton Triptych Cabernet Sauvignon 2024

Deep crimson with a youthful edge, but don’t let that fool you….this wine builds like a slow-moving storm. Aromas of cassis, blackcurrant and dark plum roll out first, followed by cedar, bay leaf and a strong graphite line.

Then the palate hits. There’s power here, no question, but it’s controlled. Fine, textural tannins start to gather and tighten, gripping the inside of your cheeks as the wine builds with each sip. You can almost see it; the small berries, the neat vineyard rows, the precision of the fruit coming through in waves.

Cocoa, dried herbs and spice layer through the mid-palate, while the oak sits seamlessly, letting the fruit and structure do the heavy lifting. This is a Cabernet that doesn’t shout, it draws you in, sip after sip, revealing more each time.

I’d love to see this wine evolve and revisit it in five-year intervals over the next two decades, it has that kind of pedigree and staying power. And honestly… bring on the roast lamb, Paddy. This is exactly where it belongs.

This is a beautiful example of Margaret River cabernet. And although the season was very hot, it has not impacted negatively at all in this wine, which retains a vibrant, lively elegance and poise. The nose is a mix of black currant and blackberry with a little plummy note. The palate, though generous, is on the side of medium body, but it really packs a punch. It's concentrated, it's structured, it's poised, and it delivers to a sustained long finish. Great balance with firmish, though very fine tannins and the oak neatly integrated. Terrific wine.

Ray Jordan Score: 97/100 Cellar: 20 years

A striking expression, the immediately enticing bouquet shows blackcurrant, cigar, violet, toasted spice, game, and fine oak characters. The palate delivers excellent concentration and density, splendidly complemented by refined texture and layers of chalky tannins. Firmly structured and harmonious with a great line and length. At its best: 2028 to 2044
