Henschke The Wheelwright Shiraz 2022

The 2022 The Wheelwright Single Vineyard Shiraz is highly perfumed with purple flowers and lifted spice. This is loaded with pomegranate, raspberry, red licorice, pink peppercorn (in that attractive citrussy way that pink peppercorns can bring) and green olive tapenade. This is structural and yet juicy, savory (tannins) but sweet (fruit) and incredibly persistent and lingering. This offers immense pleasure now, but it will, like all the Henschke wines, evolve positively in the cellar for decades to come. The 2022 vintage brings such delicacy and freshness to this wine. I love it. 96 points – Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Deep and bright red with a purple meniscus; intense raspberry and crushed fresh herbs on the nose, predominantly sage and rosemary, thyme also, the palate soft and fleshy with a firm sheen of fine-grained tannins that persist throughout the length of the palate. Intense spices too—this has the personality of Eden Valley roaring through with its inimitable character. Lovely fragrance; powerful structure; firm tannin finish. This will reward long ageing. 96 points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review
