Henschke Marbel Angel Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 14.5% 750ml

Tasting Notes

Appearance

Deep crimson with ruby hues.

Aroma
Attractive aromas of dark bramble fruits, roasted hazelnut, cassis and violets, with hints of mace, thyme, rosemary and tomato leaf.

Palate
A rich and focused palate opens with layers of blackcurrant leaf, bay leaf and luscious red berry fruits, entwined with crushed herbs, cassis and cedar. Savoury, fine-grained tannins deliver incredible structure and balance for a long and elegant finish.
Cellaring potential
Exceptional vintage, 20+ years from vintage.

Vintage notes
Above average 2021 winter rainfall helped to refill soil profiles and the cool, slow start to the growing season resulted in budburst occurring slightly later than average. A frost event occurred on 11 October, followed by an extreme hail event on 28 October, and the cold and wet weather in mid-November coincided with flowering, which impacted fruit-set and potential yields. December and January provided a burst of summer heat, however at the beginning of vintage another severe weather event dealt a deluge of rain and even more hail to some parts of the region. While mild and dry conditions followed, the cumulative impacts of the season's weather events resulted in lower yields across the region. The 2022 wines show great aromatics, balance of acidity and a bright core of flavour.

Expert Reviews

Huon Hooke

96 Pointsout of 100.
Very good colour with a rim of purple, the bouquet reserved and showing cold-meat, black-olive, pencil-shavings and smoky characters, the palate full bodied and dense with fleshy texture and tightly packed tannins. Good concentration, depth and structure. Long finish. A serious cabernet. It's a little subdued at this moment, but 'came up' with airing in the glass and made a super-delicious drink. Lovely now, and patience will be rewarded.
