Henschke - Mount Edelstone - Shiraz - Shiraz - 2013 - 75cl

"The decision to hold back the release of this shiraz until after the '14 was correct - this is a densely packed wine destined for a long life as vertical tastings have proved again and again, intensity and focus achieved without apparent effort. Medium - bodied, but with compelling black fruits riding on the back of tannins and carefully measured oak." - James HallidayDeep rich crimson in colour. Succulent blue fruits, blackcurrant paste, blackberry and spiced plum aromas are interwoven with savoury Dutch liquorice, sage, cracked black pepper and cedar. The palate has lovely concentration, with layers of sweet plum, blackberry and liquorice, finishing fleshy and well - structured, with rolling chalky tannins.
