Henschke

Cyril Henschke Eden Valley Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

Bob McDonald
9.3

Continuing on with the extensive array of Henschke wines we tasted last weekend. This is their premium Cabernet based blend which is grown on the Cyril Henschke vineyard in the Eden Valley. Matured in 32% new and 68% seasoned French oak hogsheads for 18 months prior to bottling. Brief notes; Named after Stephen’s father Cyril. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. First produced in 1978. A lovely perfume of cassis, red currant, bay leaf and dark chocolate. I used to buy this Cuvée regularly 15 plus years ago. — 7 months ago

We had at Cyril Lignac’s restaurant in Paris for father’s day.
Tell tale Vosne aux Malconsorts, very accessible now but with very many years ahead of it. We are enthusiastic about it ! — 6 months ago

Domaine Virginie Thunevin

Grand Vin de Bordeaux Red Bordeaux Blend

Stefan Dolhain
8.9

2018 vintage. 100% Merlot from this estate in Lalande de Fronsac, named after Valandraud owner Jean-Luc Thunevin's daughter. Another sexy Bordeaux value. Good concentration, ripe fruit, ripe tannin and good acidity. A little alcohol heat in the finish prevents it from a higher score, but very good value at less than 10 euros. — 4 years ago

Henschke

Cyril Henschke Eden Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1986

Doug Powers
9.5

100% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged 1 year in new French and American oak barrels, while I get the Barossa fruit feel, this also reminds, at this age, of 1980s Napa/Sonoma Cabs, close to mature, very well-balanced, complex, long, lingering finish, terrific Barossa Cabernet!! Purchased at Henschke in 1989 (my first and only visit) and shipped home via a now-defunct import/shipping company in Alameda, California (I also bought some 1986 Mt. Edelstone Shiraz and 1985 Hill of Grace Shiraz on that same trip!!) — 3 months ago

@Bob McDonald, I have had both, I might have 1 bottle of each left, though due to consolidation of wines in random boxes I can’t be sure — finding this Cab was a fluke. But I hope I do find the two Shiraz (I think I originally bought 6 each HoG and Cab, and 12 MtE).

@Bob McDonald, I don’t know if you can see my Taste Insights in Delectable, but if you can, check under Shiraz-South Australia — I checked in the 1986 Mt. Edelstone about 8 1/3 years ago and thought it was almost perfect (9.9, same as 1977 Grange), so I must have consumed a 1985 HoG before joining Delectable.
