Tasting notes
The 2018 Keyneton Euphonium is a blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot and carries a profusion of dusty black tannin and brooding purple fruit. There are notes of meat broth, field mushrooms, fresh leather, blackberry, brown sugar and a molasses character. I know from some of the other Henschke reds that the fruit actually rises above the structure with a decant (or time in the glass), so this is recommended in order to catch the beautiful 2018 fruit on offer here. This is a savory wine—layered and long.

Full screwcapped bottle just 1,283 g. Blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot from various friendly growers. See this wine of the week . Dark purplish crimson. Pungent, sweet, almost animal cocktail on the nose. Sweet fruit on the front and just a tad pinched on the end. But there are no serious faults in this. (JR)
Spicy and creamy shiraz-based blend with velvety tannins framing a silky core of dark fruit, licorice, cloves, grilled herbs and spices. Five spice and smoked paprika coming through. Full-bodied yet elegant. 65% shiraz, 23% cabernet sauvignon, 9% cabernet franc and 3% merlot. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
