2016 'Mount Edelstone Shiraz', Henschke, Eden Valley

"The 2016 Mount EdelstoneVineyard Shiraz is steeped in complexity, with aromas ranging from camphor, bayleaf and sage to smoke and grilled beef and from blueberries and blackberriesto plums laced with spice. 

Full-bodied, rich and intense,it's ripe and velvety textured, with a long, licorice-tinged finish and dustytannins that bode well for the cellar. From vines planted in 1912, I suspectthis will come close to the quality of the Hill of Grace at a fraction of theprice. 

Tasted again the following dayfrom the open bottle, this was even better, seamless, flowing and harmonious inthe mouth."
