The Henschke Mount Edelstone has always been a very popular wine on my blog. I am continuing to explore the 2018 vintage with this wine.
Nice to see a traditional and well trusted label
Wow! The 2018 Henschke Mount Edelstone is not what I expected. Therefore, I had a look at some other reviews. They reported what you would expect of this wine. But I experienced something different. A different bottle or lazy reporting by others? Anyway, this is my take on what I drank.
This wine is different. It is predominantly red fruited, red cherry, pomegranate. It is lighter on its feet than the previously reviewed Yarra Yering. There are purple flower notes. It is clearly lighter than the typical Mount Edelstone profile, no mocca here, either. This wine is a delight to drink. The mineral laden acidity, and the very fine tannins deliver a great structure.
This wine is tightly wound right now, a racy wine waiting to burst out of the glass.
Score: 97/+++

Hello Thomas,
I never thought Mt Edelstone was a wine that would be made in “batches” but is it possible?
Regards
Colin
