Description / Reviews
"Deep crimson in colour. Classic cabernet aromas of blackcurrant, cassis and violet are complemented by herbaceous notes of crushed flowering herbs and fresh oregano, supported by hints of red currant, anise and Dutch chocolate. The elegantly structured palate offers red currant, cassis and blue and black berry fruit flavours, woven with beautifully balanced fine-grained tannins and a creamy texture to create a savoury finish of great depth and length." - Winemaker Notes
"Very good colour with a rim of purple, the bouquet reserved and showing cold-meat, black-olive, pencil-shavings and smoky characters, the palate full bodied and dense with fleshy texture and tightly packed tannins. Good concentration, depth and structure. Long finish. A serious cabernet. It's a little subdued at this moment, but 'came up' with airing in the glass and made a super-delicious drink. Lovely now, and patience will be rewarded." - 96 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
"Cabernet when it’s at its best brings power, structure and length but most importantly, it also brings flow. It makes the wine seem relaxed and enjoyable, even as it lays down the law. This Cabernet Sauvignon from Henschke mines that vein. It has a juicy, even-handed flow to it, it brings blackcurrant, peppercorn, tobacco and mint flavours to the table, and it makes its long finish seem effortless. In shot, we’re in elite territory here." - 95 Points, Campbell Mattinson
