  • Delicious and quite interesting. I agree with Duncan's note below. Wish I had more.

  • Super-dense purple, opaque in glass. Touch of caramel on nose. On the palate: a simmering cauldron of fruit and berries! By which I mean slightly jammy blackcurrants and brambles; but not jammy in a bad way. Very smooth, no doubt in part from the high alcohol (15.5%) which wasn't otherwise noticeable. Few tannins, and those very fine. I've had three bottles of this vintage over the past three years, and it's got better each time: starting its maturity, I'd guess. Superb. Wish I still had the other two bottles I drank too young.

  • $12 per glass - Frasers Restaurant - Kings Park, Perth

    Medium bodied, with strawberry and rasberry colour, still young. Nose was closed, opened up after a few minutes of agitating, berry and fruity, little oak. Palette was well balanced, fruity with well balanced taninns, which lasted, but didnt hang around like the girl next door.

  • 15.5% ALC!! Ouch, high by Henschke standards. The nose was not very giving throughout the first hour or so...by 65 minutes in the wine started yielding subtle notes of pruney, raisined notes - not much going on with the nose...the palate, is, as expected, rather dense, no sign of the heat experienced for a short time on the nose. Still unyielding on the palate. Interesting texture, but little else going on at this juncture. ** out of *****. Disappointing.
