Henschke Five Shillings Shiraz Blend 6pack 750ml 14.5% 750ml

Deep crimson with violet hues. Fragrant and intense aromas of ripe raspberry, blackberry, Satsuma plum, with lifted, spicy notes of black pepper, liquorice, cinnamon and nutmeg. A full, lush palate of vibrant raspberry, boysenberry and mulberry with complex and textural savoury tannins, and fresh acidity driving a long, spicy and structural finish.

94 Pointsout of 100.
This is a 75/25 Shiraz and Mataro blend from a 75/25 Barossa and Eden Valley combo. It is a thoroughly beautiful wine combining softness and generosity with balance and poise. Just a tiny amount of new French oak has been used more as a condiment to lift the palate. Savoury dark chocolate and ripe rich black fruits with a subtle blue fruit influence. A nice lift of oyster shell adds to the final flourish.
