{"product_id":"2022-henschke-cyril-henschke-cabernet-sauvignon","title":"2022 Henschke Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon","description":"\u003cp\u003eNamed in honour of Stephen Henschke’s father - a pioneer who championed single-vineyard wines long before it was fashionable - this Cabernet is the definitive expression of the family's Eden Valley estate. Cyril planted these vines on a north-facing slope in the late 1960s, and today they are managed with strict organic and biodynamic practices. In a region world-famous for Shiraz, this wine proves that high-altitude Cabernet can reach the same heights of pedigree and poise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 vintage was one of the greats, characterised by a cool, slow growing season and a late harvest. This hang time is evident in the wine’s brilliant aromatic detail. It’s an enchanting red, lead by purple florals, wild herbs, and a core of blackberry, plum, and cherry. There’s a distinct earthy undertone that grounds the fruit, providing a sense of place that only old vines can deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tannins are remarkably fine-grained, weaving through the dark fruit to create a framework that is both elegant and authoritative. The 2022 is a beauty that is drinking well now but possesses the balance to evolve for twenty years or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"There is a very strong case that this might be the best Cyril yet released... It is probably the most precisely focused of any Cyril to date, leading to its poise and defined, detailed finish. Surprisingly, in some ways, it gets just a 5% smidgeon of new oak with the remainder seasoned. So you are getting a clear window into the vineyard and the vintage influence.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Ray Jordan (Wine Pilot)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"No problem tucking this away in the cellar for an extended period.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The cooler vintage that was 2022 has birthed a tranche of wines of great delicacy and \"fluffiness\"\/freshness.
