Henschke Henry's Seven 2016 |
Deep crimson with ruby hues. Attractive aromas of spiced plum, red currant and blue and black berry fruits are met with floral nuances of violets and black pepper spice. The round, supple palate is filled with juicy blue and red fruits, spiced plum, liquorice and notes of crushed tarragon, with beautifully textured svelte tannins and a long, peppery finish.
This vintage of Henry's Seven leads with 66% Shiraz (the rest is made up of Grenache, Mataro and Viognier) although the eucalyptus and tobacco leaf aromas trick you into thinking there must be some Cabernet in here. Green olives, coffee grounds, raisiny plums and currant fruits and a copper penny tang are all present, too, precisely put together like a neatly wrapped present, in Henschke's typically poised and polished style. A silky texture, powdery tannins and a leafy nuance mark the finish. Drink now–2027.
