"Dark garnet with ruby hues. Fragrant and perfumed aromas of thyme, marjoram, cassis, blackcurrant, blackberry compote and violets, with hints of cedar, nutmeg, dark chocolate and pepper. A deep and textural palate of fresh redcurrant, plum, bay leaf and dark baking spices, supported by refreshing acidity and fine cocoa-dusted tannins for an endless finish.
100% cabernet sauvignon grown on the Cyril Henschke Vineyard on the Henschke Eden Valley property, managed with organic and biodynamic practices. Matured in 32% new and 68% seasoned French oak hogsheads for 18 months prior to blending and bottling."
19/20 MatthewJukes.com (2019 Vintage)
"This is an amazingly refined wine with a thrilling perfume and superbly pure fruit. It is a red light sabre of purity, and while it is a shame that yields were pinched in 2019, this wine is one of the most slender and direct Cyrils I have tasted, and I adore its balance and poise."
97/100 Christina Pickard, Wine Enthusiast, January 2024 (2019 Vintage)
"Bold, luscious blackberry and raspberry aromas take center stage, followed by subtler aromas of violet syrup, tomato jam and lovely sweet spice and herb nuances. Things get more serious on the palate, where supple and fine “cat's tongue” tannins are prominent, but well integrated into the plump fruit, with a lovely lift of acidity. This is a downright sexy Cab, with the best of Henschke all rolled into one. Drink now and for several decades to come."
5 Stars & 96/100 Huon Hooke, The Real Real Review (2019 Vintage)
"Deep-ish red tinged with purple, the bouquet loaded with green-bean/fresh-herb and berry varietal fruit, seamlessly entwined with cedary oak, the fruit evoking mulberry, raspberry and cassis while the palate is elegantly shaped and refined in texture, with fine grained powdery tannins providing a subtle backdrop of structure. A very elegant and complex cabernet of charm and beauty."
95+/100 Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, April 2024 (2019 Vintage)
"It’s inescapably cabernet, and that’s a very good thing. It’s dusty and herbal and sinewy and dry, by expression, though its core values are built on blueberry, boysenberry, Ribena and mint. It feels elegant and sturdy at once, juicy too, its spice-drenched tannin pressing assertively through the long carry of the finish. This will cellar."
