2018 Henschke 'Mount Edelstone' Shiraz (Gift Box)
99 Points, James Halliday, The Weekend Australian
"Glorious wine. Untold depths of the richest blackberry and plum fruit with a magically bright finish ex livewire acidity."
19.5+/20 Points, Matthew Jukes
This is a genuinely outstanding Mount Edelstone, with glorious fruit and multi-layered complexity. The nose sings of the Eden Valley with a sage and black fruit cocktail of flavours, and the texture is pure velvet. This is a cracker of a wine and a classic Mount Edelstone to boot, and it is already bafflingly precocious. But don’t worry because behind the exultant volleys of pristine fruit lurks muscle and crunchy tannin that will propel this wine forward for two decades and more.
99 Points, Andrew Caillard MW, The Vintage Journal
