The red wine Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon, vintage 2016 from the winery Henschke Cellars has been rated in 2021 by Jane Faulkner with 96 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon from the region Eden Valley in Australia.
One of the finest Cyril Henschkes to date. It starts with a heady perfume of florals, blackberries and spiced cherries with hints of mint chocolate, menthol and dried herbs. It’s compelling and seductive with beautiful tannins all supple and shapely. It is fuller-bodied but not big as there’s a fineness throughout with the oak well-integrated (aged in French hogsheads, 35% new for 18 months). A classy Cabernet. Drink 2021-2040+. J.F.
