A little young. Leave down a tad longer. Lighter body due to Cabernet sav component c. f. Shiraz alone. Dark fruit and light tannins suggested on label - agree; cherry and plumb? Nice mid-body wine. From memory, had the Mt Edelston Henschke at Quay, Sydney, and that was slightly fuller bodied and better rounded. — 10 years ago

A little young. Leave down a tad longer? 2004 a little more complex than the 2005 Henley? Like to try side-by-side taste test. — 10 years ago

Beautiful. Tried the 2005 subsequently and 2004 from memory was a better tasting vintage. A very nice wine. Will have to try to source some. Had at Vue De Monde, Melbourne. — 11 years ago

Had at Vue De Monde, Melbourne. Very nice wine. Would like to try again. Had this after the 2004 Geoff Merrill Henley, so stiff competition to follow up against. — 11 years ago

Good affordable quaffing. Will get some more. The premium Fox Creek Shiraz of this year (?) and Cabernet Sauvignon were excellent when tasted at the cellar door. This wasn't as good, but great bang for buck table wine. — 12 years ago
