This 2022 release carries the stamp of a cool, late vintage - it’s got that signature Henschke elegance but with a serious, brooding edge that we only see in the top years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's dark and inky, smelling of blackberries, brambles, and black pepper. It’s on the lighter side of full-bodied, which is exactly what makes Eden Valley Shiraz so compelling. Instead of raw power, you get layers of spice and a savoury mineral tension that feels focused and intense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis isn't a Shiraz for a casual midweek pour. The structure is dense and firm, built to go the distance in the cellar like the legendary 2010 or 2015 releases. If you’re opening one now, give it plenty of air and pair it with something substantial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is such a lovely wine, brimming with bright red fruits supported by a fine, bright and lively acidity, fine chalky tannins and a neatly implemented oak.
