Beschreibung: Der Henschke Mount Edelsten Single Vineyard Shiraz präsentiert sich mit einem Bouquet von saftigen blauen Früchten, schwarzer Johannisbeere, Brombeer- und Gewürzpflaumenaromen gepaart mit Lakritze, Salbei, schwarzem Pfeffer und Zedernholz. Am Gaumen ist der Henschke Mount Edelsten Single Vineyard Shiraz sehr konzentriert, mit Schichten von süßen Pflaumen, Brombeeren und Lakritze, im Abgang fleischig und gut strukturiert, mit geschmeidigen, kalkigen Tanninen.

James Suckling: „A very profound sage note here with wild brambleberries, bay leaf and subtle oak influence, cast across a green-peppercorn and mint-tea nuance with such bright red berries and plums. The palate has a super plush and elegant shape and fine, velvety-tannin texture with plush, long red plums. Such poise and elegance with length and concentration here. An exceptional vintage for Mount Edelstone. Drink or hold.“

Joe Czerwinski für Robert Parker: „Camphor, pitch and raspberry appear on the nose of Henschke's 2015 Mount Edelstone Vineyard Shiraz. It's a muscular, full-bodied expression of Eden Valley Shiraz, with notes of black olives and cassis on the palate and enough tannins to give this amply-endowed wine a savory edge. There's a lovely sense of tension between the fruity and savory elements and a long, velvety finish, making this one of the stars of the lineup—and a relative bargain compared to the Hill of Grace. The dry-farmed vineyard was planted in 1912 and has been bottled as a single-vineyard wine since 1952, making it one of the oldest such wines in Australia.“

Wine Spectator: „Plump, jammy boysenberry and huckleberry flavors harmonize with toasted herb, tobacco and spice notes in this dense red. A thread of juicy acidity keeps the flavors fresh and focused. Drink now through 2030.“

Wine Enthusiast: „From one of South Australia's most historic vineyards (planted in 1912 and bottled as a single-vineyard wine since 1952), Henschke's Shiraz ripples with flavor, texture and length. Sun-puckered plum and cherry, milky coffee with cocoa powder, ground pepper, beet, baking spices and warm stone all roll over the senses. Powdery, spicy tannins juxtapose the juicy, silky fruit. Drinking nicely now but should cellar beautifully for 20 years or more.“
