Henschke 2001 Mount Edelstone Oct 04

 

Trademark Henschke Shiraz nose with toasty controlled oak, floral perfumed berry fruit, its very attractive. Two standout features in this wine are immediately apparent, the first is the unobtrusive, ultra fine drying fruit tannins and the second is the quality of the deep, pure fruit. A welcome return to form, this is a high quality, clean well balanced and well built wine of ample-weight with a solid, tight structure and well developed complexity showing blackberry, chocolate and mint that finishes with excellent persistence. Rated as Highly Recommended with *** for value, the rating should improve as the wine matures around 2010+.
