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: „This has quite elegant red plum, raspberry and so much spice in this cooler vintage, together with gentle earthiness, then red plum and such expressive fragrance. Opens up to such primary complexity with air. There’s sleekness to the palate – acidity has thrived in this cooler vintage – and it carries a sense of depth and purpose in terms of fruit expression and is so focused. Long, very fresh finish. This cooler vintage suits Mount Edelstone. Lower yields with good concentration. Drink over the next decade or more. Screw cap.“

Wine Advocate: „Hung deli meat, star anise and blackberry adorn the nose of the 2017 Mount Edelstone Vineyard Shiraz. Discerning this is akin to peering over the counter at an Italian deli, with meat, cheeses and garlic hanging from the ceiling: it's enveloping and welcome. On the palate, the wine is bright and concentrated, with layers of salted blueberry, licorice and staunch (yet fine) tannins. It has flexibility and pliability, but it also has shape and form—all of it encased in a medium-bodied shell. It is savory and lean above all else, with bacon fat adorning all edges.“

Jancis Robinson: „Much richer than The Wheelwright (though made in exactly the same way), and layered, with balsam notes. Lots of savoury herbs on the nose ('very Eden Valley' according to Stephen Henschke) and richly nuanced on the palate with a dry finish. Very subtle oak indeed. Velvety tannins and something saline, plus a hint of spearmint. So clean and refreshing on the end. Very clever winemaking.“

Wine Spectator: „Succulent and complex, with ripe cherry, salted black licorice and a fresh whiff of mint and rosemary. Delivers dark chocolate, baked plum buckle and gunpowder tea flavors that linger on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2032.“
