Henscke Mount Edelstone Shiraz is produced from vines that are now 103 years old and is a muscular, full-bodied expression of Eden Valley. It is deep and dark with scents of cassis, plum, potpourri, black olive and camphor. On the palate it is amply-endowed with ripe but chewy tannins, oodles of black fruit and a long, silken finish.

Opaque ruby. Dark berry preserves, fruitcake, pipe tobacco candied flowers and a hint of vanilla on the deeply perfumed nose. Stains the palate with sappy black and blue fruit, mocha, licorice and rose pastille flavors and exotic spice and mineral nuances add energetic lift. Fleshy and deep but lively as well, with an impressively long, gently tannic finish that shows superb focus and dark fruit-driven persistence.Josh Raynolds1st December 2021

All-Shiraz vineyard planted in 1912(!) by Ronald Angas of South Australia`s founding family. Cyril Henschke produced the first varietal single-vineyard wine from these vines, so labelled, in 1952.

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)
