Decanting recommended and in this case I can see why. It`s still much more youthful than the other two Henschke 2015s I have tasted so far
–
Euphonium and Cyril Henschke. The tight, introvert aromas of balsam and dried grasses are just starting to come out. There`s a definite touch of mint there too. This is drier and less flattering than the other two at the moment, with a minerally undertow. Strongly savoury finish and beautifully made but not nearly ready. I may come back and revise this note once the wine has sat in a decanter for a while but I`d advise stashing it in a cellar for now. And, gosh, it needs food! But it certainly mellowed in the glass and overnight. Lovely after 24 hours. (JR)
