CRITIC REVIEWS
Richard Hemming MW
100% Shiraz from 103-year-old vines. Aged for 18 months in 78% French and 22% American (22% new) oak hogsheads. Described as ‘overgrown Pinot’ by Stephen Henschke. Incredibly intense! It’s a really marked shift up from their Tappa Pass 2016 just tasted. There’s a pungent herbal edge to the nose, as well as plenty of sweet vanilla oak – but the main headline is that beautifully juicy black fruit, which has both freshness and a more boiled, pastille-like quality. Layers of flavour and texture, but already totally drinkable in terms of structure. Long, tarry, peppery finish. (RH)

Camphor, pitch and raspberry appear on the nose of Henschkes 2015 Mount Edelstone Vineyard Shiraz. Its a muscular, full-bodied expression of Eden Valley Shiraz, with notes of black olives and cassis on the palate and enough tannins to give this amply-endowed wine a savory edge. Theres a lovely sense of tension between the fruity and savory elements and a long, velvety finish, making this one of the stars of the lineup—and a relative bargain compared to the Hill of Grace. The dry-farmed vineyard was planted in 1912 and has been bottled as a single-vineyard wine since 1952, making it one of the oldest such wines in Australia.
