Top Notes For

The quality of these many and varied Henschke cuvées never ceases to amaze. Just brief notes - not as much spice as Mount Edelstone and Hill of Grace. This is from the Barossa and provides a point of difference to their big guns in the Eden Valley. A more full bodied palate showing black and blue fruits and liquorice - not so much the sage and black pepper that shows on their Eden Valley reds.

Coarse tannins and short finish. The wine seemed disjointed.

A fragrant beauty with ripe blackberry fruit, sage and black pepper flavours. Vibrant and lively - still very youthful. Totally delicious with grilled flank steak. Disappeared alarmingly fast

CNY celebration with Yee Sang. Herbs and eculyptus. Menthol and spice. After breathing we have mineral and chalky kicks off. Balsamic vinegar

Powerful aroma fill the glass. Fruit-forward and smooth. Ripe fruit balanced against smokey undertones. Elegant with an adventurous edge.
