Henschke Mount Edelstone Shiraz 2009 presentation box - 750ml

The Mount Edelstone vineyard, meaning gemstone, was planted in the 1920's on the eastern slopes of the hill of the same name, located in Keyneton, high in the ranges east of the Barossa Valley. The now 97 year old vines produced impeccable fruit in 2009, a season rated by the Henschke’s as exceptional. The wine was matured in a combination of 76% French (66% new, 34% seasoned) and 24% new American hogsheads for a period of 21 months prior to blending and bottling.

Now comes with a glass stopper, which I have to admit, looks and feels very appealing. I like the satisfying little ‘snap’ it makes as you push it back into the bottle. Blackberry, blackcurrant and redcurrant, sage and menthol, vanilla and chocolate with a suggestion of truffles buried beneath. Complex and layered with a sweep of plush, silky tannin that caresses the mouth–creamy almost–and just above medium bodied, the balance and pitch of it all just so. Sweetly fruited as a young wine, but not overly so, and there’s plenty of adult coffee grounds and spice to level it off. Super length of flavour. It’s a pretty high level Mount Edelstone. - 96 Points Gary Walsh
