[SOLD-OUT] Henschke Mount Edelstone 2006

'A joyful, traditional Eden Valley shiraz with a touch of modern polish. Its smoky aromas of dark plums, blackberries, violets, white pepper, cloves and cinnamon overlie meaty, briary nuances while its palate is smooth, supple and fine-grained perfection. Its oak is so well integrated almost to be unobtrusive beneath its deliciously bright, focused and juicy flavours of sweet mulberries, blackberries and cassis, which are tightly honed above a fine, dusty backbone. Drink 2018-2026+'

'It opened oaky but no such problems the next day - rich dark fruit, some mint, licorice, toasty oak and spices are the smells and flavours. It's just over medium bodied with explosive fruit flavour and reach through the palate - the tannins and structure of it magic - long and nutty on the finish. Splendid wine, not hot or too sweet - expressive, perfumed and sophisticated.'

'The 2006 Mount Edelstone Shiraz was sourced from a vineyard planted in 1912 with yields of less than 0.5 tons/acre. It was aged for 21 months in 65% new French and American oak. Purple-colored, the nose sports aromas of wood smoke, Asian spices, incense, blueberry, blackberry, and chocolate. Dense and packed, this full-bodied Shiraz has lots of flesh, succulent blue and black fruit flavors, impeccable balance, and a long, pure finish.'
