Beschreibung: Der Henschke Henry´s Seven Barossa präsentiert sich mit einem Bouquet von roten und schwarzen Beeren, reife Pflaume, Kirschen, Noten von exotischen Blumen, Mokka und Bitter-Schokolade. Am Gaumen sehr stoffig (10monatiger Ausbau in Barriques), dichte aber immer frische Aromatik roter Kirschen, viel Saft, die Tannine sind perfekt eingebunden, samtige Länge. Der Einsteiger in die „Welt von Henschke“.

Wine Advocate: „A blend of 74% Shiraz, 16% Grenache, 8% Mourvèdre and 2% Viognier (the Shiraz and Viognier are co-fermented), aged mostly in used barrels, the 2019 Henry's Seven hints at asphalt and black olive tapenade, set against a backdrop of blueberry and brambly blackberry fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it's creamy-slippery in texture—no doubt helped along by the Viognier inclusion—supple and easy to drink, with a juicy, lip-smacking finish and almost unnoticeable tannin. Drink it young and fresh.“

Wine Spectator: „There's a succulent quality to the apricot, black cherry and fleshy stewed plum notes of this wine, with accents of cardamom, clove and black tea, on a muscular frame. All the elements come together in a remarkably long finish, detailed and polished. Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro and Viognier. Drink now through 2037.“

Jancis Robinson: „Mid crimson with a pale rim. Heady, ripe nose with savoury balsam notes at the edges and a little grittiness of texture on the end. Quite marked acidity and very much a Shiraz rather than a Syrah. But not too excessively and obviously alcoholic or sweet.“

Wine Enthusiast: „Shiraz gets co-fermented with Viognier and then blended with Grenache and Mataro for this oh-so-Barossa red. Plump berries, chocolate, peppery spice, beet leaves and something a bit ferrous lead to a silky mouthfeel. There's power and fruit sweetness here but also transparency and regional character to boot. Drink until 2030.“
