Beschreibung: Mit dem Keyneton Euphonium setzt Henschke wie gewohnt Maßstäbe. Der 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 is very good. A rich wine, yet the weight is belied by cool, seductive aromas of mint, garden herbs and blue forest fruit accents, lifted by lilacs and a hint of smoked meat. The mid-palate is gently reductive but in a controlled fashion, not impinging on the succulence. The tannins are sinuous and long limbed, directing the effusive flow of flavor. This is an exceptional release of a cuvee that is often solid, if seldom at this elevated level. The best I can recall. Drinkable now, but best from 2028.“

Jancis Robinson: „Transparent, shaded garnet. Very mellow, well-integrated blend. Very luxuriously textured. Well-judged blend that's already approachable. Blackcurrants, blackberries and sagebrush. Lots of drive and when you taste this, you do wonder where they are going to go next, upwards the price scale. What's wrong with this? Many congratulations to the Henschke family and their growers. Very long.“

Wine Advocate: „The 2019 Keyneton Euphonium leads with dried rose petals and pomegranate molasses, sumac, bone broth and salted licorice. In the mouth, the wine has a salty, soy/Lion's Mane character, alongside the cassis and bramble. The wine is lighter and finer than I would expect from this season, and it has a silky flow in the mouth. It has an Italianate character to the wine: it is savory and spicy, with very fine acidity and some floral high notes here. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.“
