[SOLD-OUT] Henschke Mount Edelstone 2007

Gourmet Traveller Wine 95 points!
"An outstanding achievement from a less-than ideal year, this is a beautifully perfumed, supple, nicely balanced shiraz with aromas of red fruits, vanilla, chocolate and spice. A touch of licorice on the palate and the finish is long and satisfying."

"Coming from 90 year old, dry-grown, ungrafted Henschke estate vines, the 2007 Mount Edelstone was matured in 90% new and 10% seasoned French (67%) and American (33%) hogsheads for 21 months. Medium-deep garnet-purple colored, it gives pronounced notes of warm blackberry, cherry preserves, lead pencils, cedar and dusty earth plus whiffs of anise and bay leaf. A highly structured style with medium-high level, fine-grained tannins and crisp acidity, this medium to full bodied wine offers just enough flesh to satisfy the mid-palate. Finishing long and fresh-fruited, this Edelstone is still very tight and primary at this stage. I've been a little modest with the score and it could have a lot more to give with 3-5 more years in bottle and perhaps drinking to 2022+."

"..[R]ich 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."

"Deep crimson/black in colour. A delightfully fragrant bouquet of anise, plum, sage and pepper with blackberry and vanilla hints adding complexity. The palate is lush and fleshy in texture with elegant fine, velvety tannins contributing to the wine's length."
