Still catching up on the Henschke tasting last weekend. This was another Cuvée new to me. Brief notes. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Light Pass in the Barossa. Matured in 8% new and 92% seasoned French oak. Not overly “Cabernet “. Barossa is best suited to Shiraz IMO. Black cherry and fresh herbs. Not a standout when one is surrounded by other outstanding Henschke reds.

Beautiful spice on the nose. Warm mixed dark & red berries; blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, vanilla, caramel, mocha, soft leather, dry soft tannins with warm palate rising spices in layers. Old school press and belt driven pump featured in the photos.
