Henschke Mt. Edelstone
What does it say about spring if you crave a Mt. Edelstone Shiraz? This 2002 Henschke Mt. Edelstone is incredibly fresh, bright and brimming with fruit. I taste raspberry in particular. The wine is not sweet and does not taste as much of chocolate as in other years. Instead, it displays a beautiful balance between fruit, acidity and tannins. It is profound and has great length. I am happy to put this away for another 10 years for the wine to mellow and develop more secondary characteristics.

Now THAT'S a Mt Edelstone, eh Alontin? Out of curiosity, did you prefer this or the 2004?
Good question. I have yet to try the 2004. What do you think?
I was hoping you could shed some light on the subject! :) Personally I can't really chose, it probably comes down to which ever one I had last really....
They're both brilliant wines that's for sure.
ok, I am in Europe at present, but back next week.Then I will give it a shot.
