Henschke The Wheelwright Shiraz 2017

“Colour is deep maroon and the nose is just gorgeously perfumed, quite exquisite. Florals, violets, spices, milk chocolate and dark fruits. An alluring creamy texture. This is simply seamless with silky tannins and very fine balance. Delightfully fresh, almost slippery. It also has great length and seems to increase in intensity as we go. Just immaculate balance (yes, repeating myself but it is a point worth stressing). The purity of fruit is the highlight of this wine, though, with a long future ahead.” - 97 Points, Ken Gargett, Winepilot

“2017 The Wheelwright Single Vineyard Shiraz puts Eden Valley’s spicy-herbal-savory complexities on full display. Scents of licorice, bay leaf, mint and rosemary accent cherry and redcurrant notes on the nose, giving it an almost medicinal edge. The cooler, later vintage seems to have accentuated those herbal nuances and lessened the overall scale and richness of the wine. It’s still medium to full-bodied, silky and intriguingly complex, with a lingering finish and plenty of longevity ahead of it.” - 96 Points, Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate
