Still very MAD that when we visited Margaret River last December we did NOT visit McHenry Hohnen (in fairness, it was on my visit list of 12-15 wineries, and while we drove by, it was end of the day and so didn’t stop — STUPID ME!! 🤷) — Medium-dark purple, fair amount of sweet new oak, dark fruits, mulberry, blackberry aromas and flavors, BIG structure, quite tannic (but I’d contrast current day Margaret River tannic vs. Napa 1980s tannic any day, the latter generally more bitter), great depth and complexity, needs 10+ years aging, great juice!!
