Deep crimson with violet hues. Lifted aromas of blueberry, blackberry, mulberry and Satsuma plum, with nuances of lavender, rose petal, violets, pepper and brown baking spice. A complex palate of blue and red fruits with hints of anise and white pepper, supported by bright acidity, fine tannins and excellent length.
The comparatively affordable “baby brother” to this historic Barossa producer's premium red stable, Henry's is an excellent intro, with brightness and approachability thanks, in part, to the lick of Grenache and Viognier in the blend. Aromas are lucid and layered. Think: raspberry and plum tart, cracked black pepper, thyme and dried flowers, with a freshening berry tang to the palate amidst filigree tannins. Delicious now, it could age another 7-10 years if you've the patience.C.P.
Aromas of cherries, wild blackberries, violets, cassia bark and earth. The palate is medium-bodied with finely integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of Damson plums, mocha, dried herbs and spices. A balanced and refined blend of 81% shiraz, 11% grenache, 6% mataro and 2% viognier from a cool vintage.
The 2023 Henry's Seven is supple and fine boned, a product of the cool, wet season that birthed it. In the mouth, the tannins are woody and fine, with star anise, blackcurrant, cassis and bramble woven throughout. This is a leafy rendition of the wine, leaving little pockets of green inflections that could be described as crunchy and good. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
