• 2012 Henschke Pinot Gris Littlehampton Innes Vineyard 95 Points

  This an exquisite Gris, with a beautiful fruit nose with almost bubblegum florals that is complex but focussed.
  
  The palette has a rich, textural mouth coating with chewy stone fruit, pear and a spicy mineral finish.

• 2010 Henschke Keyneton Euphonium 93 Points

  This has a fantastic oak perfume, full of vanillin and with a core of blackberry fruit that is quite sweet and balances nicely with spicy and tannic palette.
