Henschke 2017 Keyneton Estate Euphonium 750ml

62% Shiraz, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 3% Merlot

With a bit of bottle age, this Shiraz-led red blend has really settled into itself. Luscious berry and plum fruit mingles with florals, pencil lead, spice and a polish of vanillin oak. The palate is succulent, with a satiny texture tempered by a soft line of savory tannins. It's glossy and polished, maybe from the high-end oak, but it also elegant, harmonious and hugely likable.
