Mount Edelstone Vineyard Shiraz
Eden Valley, Barossa, South Australia, Australia
When this gets played as an option wine it makes people really think. A great pull from one of our V20 casual employees.
A great showing and drinking superbly.

Deep Ruby in colour. My last bottle of 6 originally bought. The earlier SO2 from previous bottles have finally diminished. Some stalky raspberry notes with a nuances of coffee. On the medium bodied palate red and black fruits with raspberry to the fore. Easy power. The hallmark of Edelstone is and has always been its fluid silky tannins - the product of vines over 100 years old planted in 1912. Has become expensive in recent years but compared to Hill of Grace good QPR.

It needed to breath a while
Delicate nose mainly still on the primary notes with fruit and flowers
Palate will tell u all about the aristocracy of the liquid in the bottle
Long and delicious
Young yes, but not a baby murder. 🤦♂️😜👌🏽

The classic Eden valley Shiraz. Black currants and cassis, sage, mint, licorice, crushed stone and gravel? Grassy. Spicy and savory. Full body, medium plus staining and concentration.

Mar 12th, 2018One of the best Australian red I have drunk so far
Extremely elegant, fruit driven, but not overripe fruits.
Wonderful tannin and incredible persistence of flavour.
Still fresh and more complexity but just whispered in a European way.
20/30 years of life ahead

This is the 6th of an original 6 and from the first bottle the tasting notes have been consistent. This wine has a weird vegetal nose. I have described as H2S in previous notes. This off putting note does not come through on the palate which exhibits ripe fruits with raspberry to the fore. Finishing off with trademark silky tannins. As a coincidence of timing it's illustrious elder brother Hill of Grace - the 2012 vintage was just judged Wine of the Year by Australia's leading wine scribe James Halliday. Well done to Henschke.

Lovely wine. Decanted for 90 minutes. Really opened up to blackberry,cedar and a nice earthy note. This will age beautifully.
