[SOLD-OUT] Henschke Mount Edelstone 2009

Gary Walsh 96 points!
"Blackberry, blackcurrant and redcurrant, sage and menthol, vanilla and chocolate with a suggestion of truffles buried beneath. Complex and layered with a sweep of plush, silky tannin that caresses the mouth"creamy almost"and just above medium bodied, the balance and pitch of it all just so. Sweetly fruited as a young wine, but not overly so, and there's plenty of adult coffee grounds and spice to level it off. Super length of flavour. It's a pretty high level Mount Edelstone.

Now comes with a glass stopper, which I have to admit, looks and feels very appealing. I like the satisfying little 'snap' it makes as you push it back into the bottle."

"A classic Mount Edelstone whose heady, briary bouquet bouquet of cassis, blackberries and sweet chocolate/coconut ice oak is backed by nuances of currant, clove and cinnamon and lifted by a peppery, spicy and violet-like perfume. Long, smooth and silky, its seamless marriage of ripe, pastille-like dark plum, cassis and mulberry flavour, sweet vanilla oak and dusty, loose-knit tannin finishes long and savoury, with a lingering smokiness and minerality.

"The 2009 is a triumph that shows waves of vibrant mulberry, earthy spice, mushroom and faintly floral aromatics encased in a succulent, dry, mid-weight palate backed by powdery tannins. Young and moreish, it will become something very special over the next 20 years."
Angus Hughson, The Australian November 02, 2012

Deep red with violet hues. Intense, classic aromas of rich, ripe satsuma plums, blue and black berry fruits are supported by cedar, tar and Mount Edelstone's characteristic bay leaf, sage and pepper spice. The elegant palate is focused with lashings of lush, ripe plum fruit, black pepper, sage oil and exotic Indian spices; complex and textured with fine, velvety tannins for an extended and concentrated finish.
