Tasted blind. Tight, closed, earthy, restrained, savoury. Not at all open or luscious, but serious and brooding. Glowering. Interesting. (RH)

The 2004 Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon (which contains 10% Merlot) is sourced from a single Eden Valley vineyard and aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak. Purple-colored, it gives off classic Bordeaux aromas of toasty oak, vanilla, mineral, black currant, and blackberry. Elegant on the palate, it conceals enough silky tannin to evolve for 8-10 years. Nicely integrated and harmonious, this stylish wine should perform optimally from 2015 to 2034. Henschke, one of Australia’s oldest and most renowned wineries continues to perform at a high level.

(includes 10% merlot) Ruby-red. A sexy bouquet displays candied red- and blackcurrant, dark cherry, cured tobacco, vanilla and cola. Lush, deeply concentrated cassis and cherry flavors are sweetened by a suave quality and complicated by smoky Indian spices. Very complex, with velvety tannins adding gentle finishing grip. The length of this wine is superb. This alluring wine was raised in 100% new French oak but there's more than ample fruit to handle it.
