1/11/2024 - colinscellar wrote: 89 pointsStonefruit on the nose while the palate is dominated by intense ripe lemon. A nice lick of vanilla and more noticeable tannin than I usually get from white wine suggests pretty firm oak treatment. Big Chardonnay style but for me needs a bit more fruit prominence and less oak. Felt hot in the mouth with alcohol when allowed to warm up to near room temp. Definitely more enjoyable chilled, has enough flavour intensity that it didn't feel overly muted. Not bad but sadly nothing special. |

11/6/2023 - Jonnhy99 wrote: 88 pointsGrapes from McLaren (73%) and Coonawarra (27%). Interesting sourcing because 2014 was a tough vintage. Aromas of blackberry, eucalyptus, vanilla, balsamic and game. Flavours of saline, eucalyptus, black fruits, mild bell peppers, and orange. A watery wine with Medium plus acidity and soft tannins. That 14.5% alcohol kicks in after two glasses 😂. Not bad for $17. |

8/4/2023 - colinscellar Likes this wine: 93 pointsI was punished for my impatience as the first sip on opening seemed hot with alcohol and unbalanced with sourness, but the wine just needed time to breathe...it says on the back of the bottle to decant it so the mistake is all mine 😄 |

5/19/2023 - Ernestas Likes this wine: 95 pointsOnly the finest 10 barrels qualify for production of Henley which is aged in FR oak for 34 months and over 10 years in bottle. Intense complex aroma of smoky plum jam, leather, old cupboard, medical hints, vanilla, cold cuts, balsamic, smoky cedar. Full body, multilayered with impeccably balanced well integrated high acidity, medium+ velvety tannins and pronounced flavours echoing aroma. Long finish with a touch of mushrooms. Hedonistic and meditative experience. |

5/11/2022 - DanCulpitt Likes this wine: 90 pointsA very solid bottle of Cab. A lot of green pepper and herbs on the nose and the wine is well balanced. Just lacking that extra power and length on the finish to put it over the top but at the price point a very solid wine. |
