Critic reviews
James Halliday – "A blend of organic/biodynamically farmed 99/1% cabernet sauvignon/merlot from the Cyril Henschke vineyard in the Eden Valley from the outstanding 2021 vintage. A beautiful bright magenta/crimson in the glass with a pretty, lifted aromatic profile. Plum, blackberry and blackcurrant with notes of sage, bay leaf, dried herbs, violets and crushed stone. Fruit pure and detailed with a very long, graceful finish and superfine, powdery, granitic tannins. A wonderful release for the Cyril Henschke. Drink to 2048." 96 Points - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

The Cyril Henschke Cabernet is always a long, slow journey to a beguiling complexity. It can’t be rushed. Hence, while the 2021 is from an acknowledged exceptional vintage in the Eden Valley, a caveat must be applied to its drinking window. If you can wait, do so. Interestingly, just 1% Merlot has been added this vintage – 1%! You have to admire the bravery. That 1% must bring something, maybe an added lifted floral note, to the whole? A classic Cyril style, quiet to the point of being unassuming in its youth in scents of violet, iris, dried herbs, cassis and intense blackberry with a leafy bramble note. Once again, it is generous in ripe fruits but nicely underplayed, no use giving away everything too soon, and this vintage sees a tad less new French oak in play (8%). It offers depth on the palate, a rich core of black fruit intensity lifted in lovely spice and effortlessly dressed in fine tannins. It’s still very much in building mode. It will thank you for not twisting open the screw cap too soon.
