Henschke Mount Edelstone Single Vineyard Shiraz 2008
Eden Valley, South Australia, AustraliaMade with 100 per cent old vines planted in the 1920s. Typical Oz coffee, black berry, blueberry, vanilla, cola, five spice, cedar, menthol, saddle leather aromas with a touch of barnyard. Fresh, supple, round, elegant palate but a bit lean and tart in the back end. Smoky, liquorice, coffee, vanilla, blueberry and black cherry mark the palate with bits of cedar, tobacco leaf and olive flavours. Nice intensity but a bit too lean and tart on the finish. Needs 3-5 years to integrate and food to balance the acidity on the finish. Seems not up to the quality of some previous vintages.Tasted: 29 March 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $175.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Pacific Wine and Spirits |
