Country: Australia / Keyneton Euphonium
Variety: Red Blend South Australia
Winery: Henschke / Barossa
It’s nice to see the quality of this wine reach new heights, as it’s still relatively affordable within the Henschke context. The blend includes Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The 2013 shows a slightly austere side, an aristocratic reserve, but the flavors are classic. Pencil shavings, mint, cassis and cigar box finish with great drive, length and dusty tannins. Drink 2023–2035.
