Henschke The Wheelwright shiraz

Medium garnet with crimson hues. Lifted aromas of red plum, red currant, blue and black berries, rose hip and black pepper, with notes of bay leaf, sage, crushed flowering herbs, anise and hints of cedar. The palate is rich and plush, deep and concentrated with layers of spicy red cherry and red currant, interwoven with anise and vanilla. Balanced acidity gives freshness and poise, finishing with elegant, velvety, fine-grained tannins for a long fruit-driven finish.

Dark crimson with violet hues. Alluring aromas of raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, violets and vanilla flower, with lifted notes of anise, bay leaf, cedar, black pepper and sandalwood. A complex and elegant palate of Satsuma plum, mulberry, blackberry, sage and savoury spices, balanced by bright acidity and fine-grained tannins for a long fruit-driven finish.

“Dark but transparent garnet. Warm, black-fruit compote on the nose. Top note of tamarind. Salty-sweet. Still quite youthful with a strong liquorice note on the palate. Tightens to a bone-dry finish after a glorious cocktail of fruit and a suggestion of cinders on the mid palate. Long and I found myself once again wanting to use the word ‘glorious’.”
