Henschke
Mount Edelstone Vineyard Shiraz
Eden Valley, Barossa, South Australia, Australia
Deep Ruby in colour. My last bottle of 6 originally bought. The earlier SO2 from previous bottles have finally diminished. Some stalky raspberry notes with a nuances of coffee. On the medium bodied palate red and black fruits with raspberry to the fore. Easy power. The hallmark of Edelstone is and has always been its fluid silky tannins - the product of vines over 100 years old planted in 1912. Has become expensive in recent years but compared to Hill of Grace good QPR.

Mar 10th, 2020Red fruits with touches of raspberry and oak on the nose. On the medium weight palate lovely mouthfilling red fruits - the product of old vines with the trademark silky Henschke medium weight Tannins. Always a wonderful wine. The 2006 has. Short term future up to 5 years more.

Jun 9th, 2019Aromas of raspberry and hints of Thyme and Mint. Oak has fully blended into the fruit at 12 years and is totally balanced. The hallmark of this wine has always been its soft silky tannins; like its more famous elder sibling Hill of Grace for many more $. Medium bodied and in a great place right now in its development. Superb wine in a good vintage from a Vineyard planted in 1912 - dry grown ungrafted vines. Winery says can cellar to 2025. 9 weeks later picked the next one a little soon but I did. Notes as above. Cannot say more - just an excellent wine. Perfect with roast lamb.

Mar 9th, 2018Dark Crimson with light Crimson rim. Aromas of raspberry and red fruits. Medium weight with fine grained tannins. Ripe rich and sweet still with a long future. Little brother of Hill of Grace.

Jun 20th, 2017Always a superb wine and this was no exception. Balanced power. Only a notch or two behind Hill of Grace and from a good vintage , many years to go. In some years as good as H of G at a sixth of the price. Medium weight with trademark silky tannins. 18.5-
