Henschke Mount Edelstone Shiraz 2017 (750 ml)

James Suckling Review - Rated 96:
Spice, earth and savory meat notes surround abundant dark fruit, walnut and mahogany. The palate is full-bodied and juicy, with a decadent fruit profile that remains energetic rather than heavy. Biodynamically grown grapes give this expressive Shiraz both richness and character.

Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 96:
Fruit from the historic ungrafted vineyard delivers grilled plum, blueberry and red-onion preserve with cumin-spiced beet, tomato leaf, white pepper and dried flowers. Dense structure is softened by plush, silky fruit and fine earthy tannins. Poised and harmonious, the wine has at least another decade of development ahead.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Review - Rated 95+:
Savory cured meat, star anise and blackberry create an enveloping bouquet. Salted blueberry and licorice lead the bright, concentrated palate, framed by firm but fine tannins. Medium-bodied and flexible yet well defined, it finishes lean and savory with a bacon-fat accent.

Wine Spectator Review - Rated 93:
Ripe cherry, salted black licorice, mint and rosemary create a succulent, complex opening. Dark chocolate, baked plum and gunpowder tea deepen the palate. These flavors linger across a long and expressive finish.
