Eden Valley estate fruit, planted in 1968 and matured in 10% new oak (95/5% French/American) hogsheads for 18 months prior to blending. Notes of mulberry, blueberry and redcurrant flit above the bass tones of dark and black berries, cut with spice, licorice, dark chocolate, sage and a scattering of brambly, briar-like notes. Graceful red fruits and spice feature on the palate which, like all Henschke wines, shows detail and elegance with perhaps a little more red fruit coming through. The balance and clarity of form impresses greatly.

Deep, dark red colour with a faint trace of purple remaining. The bouquet shows rich and ripe cassis with a top note of Ribena, evoking canned corn or asparagus. A light patina of the dried herbs typical of Eden Valley. It's very intense in the mouth, with firm, slighty grippy tannins that run the full length of the palate, leaving a slight aftertaste of bitter astringency, which softens off with repeat tastes. Further ageing recommended, as well as hearty protein-rich food. 04 MAR 2022 Drink 2022–2037
