Tasting notes
The 2010 Shiraz Mount Edelstone is classic and built for the long haul. Scents of perfumed blackberry, rubbed sage and white pepper are all beautifully even and refined. The palate possesses immaculate balance with powerful fruit, tensile tannins and extreme length on the finish. This is superb but needs serious time.

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. Consider drinking this 2016 to 2026+. Imported by Negociants USA, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 259-0993
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. (JR)
