“Doesn't look much older than the 2018 and the aroma is not that much more evolved though the fruit appears just a touch less sweet on the nose. Tannins are thicker and denser, the whole more powerful than the elegant, nunaced 2018. Firmly textured, chewy, an adolescent still?” — Jancis Robinson, Sep 2024

“The 2013 Mount Edelstone Vineyard Shiraz hails from a drought year—it was tough. In fact, the 2014 Edelstone was released before the 2013. Yet now, we look at this wine, 11 years from harvest, and the wine is svelte and seamless in its flow of flavor across the palate, with pomegranate molasses, alpine mint, dried herbs, a hint of arnica, rose petals and black cherry. It is chewy, elegant and spiced. It's a lovely wine that has decades to go. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under Vinolok. As it happens, the 2024 vintage is Henschke's 156th vintage. Pretty remarkable.” — Wine Advocate, Apr 2024
