TASTING NOTES FOR Henschke Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon Gift Box Eden Valley 2019

🍷 Appearance
Deep garnet to crimson with impressive depth and a vibrant, youthful edge.

👃 Aromas
Highly perfumed and complex. Layers of cassis, blackcurrant and blackberry are lifted by violets and crushed herbs.
Subtle notes of cedar, sage, bay leaf, nutmeg and dark chocolate add refinement and classic Cabernet character.

👅 Palate
Elegant yet powerful. Concentrated dark berries, redcurrant and plum flow across the palate with beautifully integrated spice and herbal nuance.
The structure is precise, with fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins delivering balance and drive.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Silky, refined and structured.
Fine cocoa-dusted tannins carry a long, savoury finish with lingering spice, cedar and dark fruit persistence.

🍇 Overall Style
A benchmark Eden Valley Cabernet—medium to full-bodied, poised and layered with classic varietal definition.
Combines power with finesse and is built for long-term cellaring (20+ years).

🍽️ Food Pairing
Ideal with roast lamb, beef fillet, venison or slow-cooked dishes. Also superb with aged cheddar or hard cheeses.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A seriously classy Cabernet and a standout for premium mixed dozens.
This is a cellar-worthy wine that shows pedigree now but will reward patience—perfect for customers wanting a flagship red in their dozen.

Cheers
