2023 Henschke Henry's Seven Red Blend Barossa Valley

“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.” – Christina Pickard Review Date: July 2025

“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. Drink or hold. Screw cap.” – Jamessuckling.com Review Date: November 2024
