Beschreibung: Mit dem Keyneton Euphonium setzt Henschke wie gewohnt Maßstäbe. Der 2015er Henschke Keyneton Euphonium fasziniert mit seinem komplexen Bukett nach Pflaumen, Anis, Blaubeeren und Cassis. Am Gaumen präsentiert sich der Henschke Keyneton Euphonium mit üppiger Frucht und reifen Tanninen. Aromen von roten Beeren, Minze, Vanille und Zedernholz münden in einen weichen, lang anhaltenden Abgang.

James Suckling: „This cooler vintage shuffles cabernet to the fore, with leafy redcurrants and red berries, as well as some first-wood tones. The palate is more supple and reflects the influence of shiraz with blackberry and plum flavors set amid quite fleshy texture. A blend of shiraz, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot. Drink or hold. Screw cap.“

Jancis Robinson: „Although this is different in its ingredients, this wine very much exhibits the subtle, polished, Henschke style of winemaking with freshness and salinity and perfectly ripened fruit with a super-clean finish. It may not be quite as long as the single-vineyard wines but the pricing is fair relative to them.“

Wine Advocate: „The 2017 Keyneton Euphonium is 62% Shiraz, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 3% Merlot, aged in 19% new oak hogsheads (85% French, 15% American). The oak imparts a bit of smokiness and mocha overtones to the nose, but this is a largely fruit-driven effort, with ripe cherries, boysenberries and blackberries touched with hints of eucalyptus and sage. It's medium to full-bodied, smooth and streamlined on the palate, with a soft dusting of tannins and lingering berry and herb flavors on the finish.“

Wine Enthusiast: „With a bit of bottle age, this Shiraz-led red blend has really settled into itself. Luscious berry and plum fruit mingles with florals, pencil lead, spice and a polish of vanillin oak. The palate is succulent, with a satiny texture tempered by a soft line of savory tannins. It's glossy and polished, maybe from the high-end oak, but it also elegant, harmonious and hugely likable.“
