RATINGS

93James Suckling

A very attractive array of ripe blackberry that speaks tot he two-thirds shiarz component here, redder grenache perfume and some spicy allure. The palate's supple, fleshy and succulent with a ball of smooth glossy dark berry and plum flavour.

92Wine Spectator

Spice, tea and dried herb notes make for an aromatic opening... Detailed and aromatic through to the end, which shows precision and elegance.

92Vinous / IWC

Spice- and herb-tinged red and blue fruits on the perfumed nose, which takes on cracked pepper and woodsmoke nuances as the wine opens up. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry, blueberry and fruitcake flavors and a touch of candied licorice. The floral and spice notes repeat on a long, smooth finish that"s framed by fine-grained, even tannins.

91The Wine Advocate

Medium-bodied, plump and mouthwatering, it showcases attractive notes of cherries and stone fruit, with just a touch of savory black olive.

91Wine Enthusiast

Green olives, coffee grounds, raisiny plums and currant fruits and a copper penny tang are all present, too, precisely put together like a neatly wrapped present, in Henschke's typically poised and polished style. A silky texture, powdery tannins and a leafy nuance mark the finish.

17Jancis Robinson

Sweet spice, jammy fruit, fine tannins and long, spicy complexity on the finish. In fact, the fruit makes a welcome return too – this is impressively persistent... Opulent, expressive, moreish.

REGION

Australia, South Australia, Barossa Valley

South Australia is the nation’s most important wine region. South Australia is to Australia what California is to the U.S. About half of Australia’s wine comes from South Australia and many of the country’s most acclaimed producers are there. Wineries based in South Australia include Penfolds Grange, Torbreck, Amon Ra, Henschke and Jacob’s Creek. The prestigious Barossa Valley is located in South Australia, and is often compared to Napa Valley because it is gorgeous topography covered in grape vines. First farmed by 19th century German-speakers who immigrated from what is now Poland, the Barossa Valley is the crown jewel of the region. South Australia has widely varying climates, from very hot, dry areas to cooler, high altitude areas. There are more than 150,000 acres of vineyards in South Australia, with more being planted each month. Shiraz is king, though the region also produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Mourvedre, Chardonnay and Semillon.
