Description
The 2017 Henschke Mount Edelstone Shiraz is a single-vineyard, biodynamically farmed Eden Valley red produced from 105-year-old vines. Matured for 18 months in French and American oak hogsheads (26% new). Medium garnet with crimson hues. Intense and evocative aromas of briary black currant, blackberry, blueberry, Satsuma plum, with lifted notes of sage, bay leaf, crushed flowering herbs, black pepper, anise and hints of cedar. The palate is rich and complex with well-defined blackberry, mulberry, red plum and black currant fruit, layered with sage, black pepper and bay leaf, and carried by fine-grained, mature, velvety tannins for an almost endless finish.
