Jun 1st, 2024Mount Edelstone is Stephen’s favourite Henschke vineyard - planted in 1912 by Colin Angas and sold to Cyril Henschke in 1974. I have 7 vintages of Mt Edelstone in my home cellar but somehow missed the 2013 so I bought a bottle -released from the Henschke museum. This was absolutely delicious and early in its drinking window is to 2045+. Chosen for the masterclass to taste beside the current release 2019 as they were both from drought years. A beautiful fragrant perfume. Black pepper, sage, spice and plum pudding. First released at 6 years of age. A brilliant wine. Particularly loved by my wife Barb.

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.

Licorice and jammy sweet black fruits on the nose; jammy and intense fruit juice. Not very refined and not enough acidity to balance the jamminess.

Always a pleasure drinking Edelstone! One of my favorite Aussie Shiraz

Jul 28th, 2019Red fruits with touches of raspberry and oak on the nose. On the medium weight palate lovely mouthfilling red fruits - the product of old vines with the trademark silky Henschke medium weight Tannins. Always a wonderful wine. The 2006 has. Short term future up to 5 years more.

This grapey, ever-so-slightly syrupy juice delighted everyone with its grace and restrained power. Wow.

Feb 16th, 2019Notes of H2S initially even after decanting. I have had this problem with Mount Edelstone with another vintage - 2006 from memory. A medium bodied palate showing blackberry and raspberry. 2 hours later notes of H2S still there! Usually one of my favourite wines but not on this occasion. The palate less effected but not as silky as usual. More time? Expected more from the little brother of Hill of Grace. An atypical bottle.

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. 🤦♂️😜👌🏽
