"Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 Mount Edelstone is a single-vineyard Shiraz showing a little reticent at this youthful stage, though it gives delicate black and red fruit aromas that fan out with air to reveal kirsch, red currant jelly, mulberries and Chinese Five Spice notes alongside hints of dusty earth and potpourri. The palate is led by its commendable structure at this stage, with firm, grainy tannins and very lively acid to support the tight-knit fruit. It finishes long and layered. Drink 2016-2026"

"Bright crimson-purple; so perfectly balanced and composed, its latent power may not be realised; black and red cherry fruits at its heart are complexed by lesser notes of plum and blackberry; the tannins are superb, the oak of high quality, and totally integrated on the very long, silky finish of this outstanding medium-bodied shiraz. Drink by 2035"

"Sensational year. Stephen Henschke thinks it’s emblematic of Eden Valley Shiraz. Bay leaf, sage and blackberry. Heady, herbal, very ripe but fresh on the finish. Lots of integrity. Firm tannins but masses of fruit! Very savoury and dry but not drying. Drink 2017-2030"
