Tasting Notes: This wine is painted with the distinctive brushstrokes of the historic Henschke winery. It exudes finesse, precision, and even filigree. Initially shy, it reveals gentle aromas of cherry, plum, florals, baking spice, and a slight savory note. On the palate, it unfolds elegantly, with silky, tangy fruit. The tannins gradually emerge, providing lovely texture and grip. While not Henschke’s most memorable wine, it’s a solid and age-worthy bottling.
If you’re looking for more options, consider exploring other wines from the Rhône-style red blend category. The Rhône Valley in France offers powerful Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines, dense Syrah-based Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage appellations, and beautiful Viognier-based Condrieu wines. Cheers! 🍷
