Henschke Tappa Pass Shiraz 2003

I don't remember the last time I had a Henschke red, probably due to their expensiveness these days, but this was recommended to me so gave it a try. Quite a concentrated bouquet of blackberry, blueberry, prunes, raspberry, chocolate and spices. The palate likewise was rich and lush with fruit over quite fine and soft tannins. Structuarally it was very balanced and sound, and length quite long. Overall quite a fine shiraz, and while not one of the best, it is certainly up there in quality.
50+4+13+17+8 = 92/100
