Henschke Tasting Notes
Henschke Lenswood NV Blanc de Noir- Made from 100% Pinot Noir. Fantastic yeasty nose, lean on the pallet with a dry finish. A great aperitif! 19/20
Henschke Littlehampton Innes Pinot Gris 2009- Bursts out the glass with a fresh pear nose, loads of fruit on the pallet but with a bone dry finish 17/20
Henschke Lenswood Giles Pinot Noir 2008- Lovely noise, smells like Cassis with a touch of Vanilla beans. Great length on the pallet for a Pinot Noir with a soft, dry finish. 18/20
Henschke Louis Semillon 2008- A little closed on the nose. Some hints of lime and quite mineraly almost like a Riesling! Very lean and dry on the pallet with a light, crisp finish. 16/20
Henschke Louis Semillon 2002- A lot more open than 2008 on the nose displaying much more Semillon characters. Rich with more body on the pallet, definitely more oak and more length on the finish 18/20
Henschke Julius Riesling 2010- A very tropical noise that jumps out the glass. More passionfruit than lime, great structure and only a little acid on the finish. 16/20
Henschke Julius Riesling 2002- Much more of a typical Riesling than 2010 on the nose. Plenty of Lemon and Lime with good acid and length. A very long, dry finish. 18/20
Henschke Keyneton Euphonium 2007- A rich Plumy nose. Silky smooth on the pallet and well balanced. Slightly high in Alcohol at 14%. 17/20
Henschke Tappa Pass Shiraz 2007- Loads of fresh berries on the nose. Deep rich fruit flavours with grippy tannins and a spicy finish. Vinlock seal. 17/20
Henschke Mount Edelstone 2007- Great Vanillin nose, dark and rich in colour and taste. Good balance between fruit and oak. Took a while to open up! 17/20
Henschke Cyril Cabernet Sauvignon 2007- A little closed on the nose, a little Jammy. Smooth on the pallet with loads of great fruit, slightly green, medium bodied. 19/20
Henschke Hill of Grace 2006- A fantastically complex nose with different aromas every time but White Pepper and Vanilla prominent. Dark in colour with rich, concentrations of fruit. Extremely well balanced and so fantastically smooth with a long, long finish. 19.5/20
