Note di degustazione
Still impressive depth of colour though definite evolution on the rim. (Looks much more than one year older than 1994.) Sweet, opulent, mulberry notes. Round and opulent and fully melded. (Second bottle positively Pomerol-like!) Rich, smoky, round and gravelly. A very nice drink for now, even if it has evolved faster than some. Tannins still lurk too... though the finish is not especially persistent. (JR)

Other than the top cuvees of Penfolds' Grange, and the old vine Grenache and Astralis from Clarendon Hills, no Australian wines are richer than these offerings from Henschke - a winery that gets my nod as one of Australia's two or three finest producers. Each of these wines coats the mouth with glorious levels of jammy fruit, extract, glycerin, and silky tannin. They are all dense ruby/purple-colored, full-bodied, and capable of lasting at least a decade, and in the case of the 1991 Shiraz Hill of Grace, possibly 20+ years. The ostentatious 1993 Shiraz Mount Edelstone Keyneton Vineyard reveals a thicker looking color, and hits the palate with even more explosive richness and ripeness than the Keyneton Estate wine. It boasts a phenomenal sweet, rich, dense middle, as well as a huge, unctuous texture and finish. While approachable, it is capable of lasting for 10-15 years. These are awesome examples of what Australia is capable of producing. Importer: Negociants USA, Vineburg, CA; tel. (707) 433-7710
