October 14, 2019 - NobleRottersSydney - meant to be Grange (360 Bar & Dining, Sydney): [DavidM] {screwcap, 14%} A shocking nose beside the 06; quite bretty and metallic. But also rotten somehow, like the inside of Jeffrey Dahmer’s refrigerator. On the palate is raw meat, and spice, and most of the transitory metallic elements of the periodic table. Hollow feel, with little mid-palate presence, low gritty tannins, medium weight, but in a patchy way. Very short finish. Very strange bottle indeed, but surely faulty in some way that’s beyond my skills to diagnose.

July 2, 2018 - NobleRottersSydney - Henschke (360 Bar & Dining, Sydney): {screwcap, 14%} [Greg] No decant. Youthful nose; charcoal, blueberry muffins, plums. The same intense, deep-chested fruit flavours on the palate as the nose promised. Medium-bodied, maybe a bit more; not heavy or hot but intense and tight still. Needs years to blossom fully but is easily gentle enough on the palate to drink now, despite rather prominent acidity. Lovely enough wine if you have it; but prices are too silly these days to seek it out except in great vintages.

August 25, 2012 - A fabulous Shiraz. The color is a velvety rich purple with a nose of rolling oak, red berries, tobacco, and shaved dark chocolate. The palate starts with rich chocolate followed by dark berries with an understated vanilla kicker. The tannins provid a surprisingly round finish for a young wine. Exellent complement for a seared rib eye with hymilayian pink salt My only criticism, Why the screw top? 5+14+17+9=95

September 7, 2010 - Henschke Heritage tasting with Paul Boothby (Prince Wine Store - Bank Street): A bright, vibrant red colour. The nose starts with creamy chocolate, delicate red berries and luscious vanillin from the oak. The palette has powdery tannins that hold up well, but are balanced and introduce an earthy, forest-floor character flanked by dark fruits and dark chocolate. The mouthfeel is chewy and the finish is powerful, but with delicate floral notes as well.

May 6, 2010 - Wine-Ark Cellar Club Tasting 4 - May 2010 - Pierro and Henschke (Roof Terrace Australian Museum): Nose: hot alcoholic black currant and cream
Mouth: Black fruit jam and cream totally dominate everything. Utterly jammy. Needs a massive charcoal seared steak. marvellous
