2013 Henschke 'Mount Edelstone' Shiraz - Museum Release

Tyson Stelzer's Top 250 Wines 2024 

97 Points, Tyson Stelzer, Wine Business Magazine 
The 61st vintage from these 101 year old vines was long one of my favourite Mount Edelstones and it's exciting to see it rereleased for a rousing encore from a pallet or two held back from this long-enduring season! Another six years in the Henschke cellars have slowly elevated is savoury, spicy and dark chocolate complexity, without diminishing its bountiful core of dark berry fruits of all kinds. Fine tannin confidence promises many more years of potential still. A glorious Mount Edelstone!”

96 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review (Feb 2024)
Deep ruby/brick-red colour, the bouquet evoking smoked meats, dusty terracotta earth and roasting pan aromas, with savoury/oaky overtones. In the mouth it’s full-bodied and again very dry, savoury and layered with terracotta, bresaola, seed spices and dried herbs galore. Tannins are supple and abundant, still providing a good backbone but mellowing out nicely. It's in a good place right now but has plenty of time left.
