2022 Henschke Marble Angel Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Rich and concentrated yet simultaneously refined.

Totally opaque black dark red colour with a dark red hue. Alluring red to black currant and mulberry scents hail from the glass complimented by some tobacco, vanillin cedar, dried herb, subtle black olive, earth and bay leaf notes. Rich and concentrated yet simultaneously refined in nature, red to black currant, red liquorice and mulberry fruits unfurl across the mid weighted palate. Notions of tobacco, earth, vanillin cedar, black olive and spicy dried herbs extend across the back half. Fine grained tannins with a long finish that’s both savoury and spicy.
Drink over the next 8-10 years.
Alc. 14.5%

Other Reviews….
This year celebrates the 10th vintage of the Marble Angel, a single-vineyard cabernet sauvignon from Light Pass in the Barossa Valley. It's a graceful, fruit-pure release. All perfectly ripened blackberry, black cherry and blackcurrant fruits with an array of fine spice, crème de cassis, tobacco pouch, softly spoken cedar tones, cold tea, licorice and earth. There is a chocolatey edge to the tannins this year as they melt in the mouth, the cassis-rich fruit flowing nicely on the extended finish. Drink by 2038.

A wine of brightness and purity with precise varietal definition. Perfumed notes of blackcurrant and blackberry mingle with a little cherry and dark chocolate. The palate is exquisitely structured and presented. Only 10% new French oak and the rest seasoned where it spent 20 months. Seamlessly integrated palate delivered with poise and effortless, graceful lines. One of the best. Drink 2025-2045.
