Reported as an exceptional vintage. Haven't tried it as yet and am pondering purchase.
I see that a certain group has it for $72? I tried this wine at the Game of Rhones event in Melbourne.
Henschke Tappa Pass Shiraz 2010, Keyneton, Barossa & Eden Valleys, SA
RRP$85. This wine was made from parcels from the Barossa and Eden Valleys. It has an alluring, heady nose of dark berry aromas with wafts of sweet alcohol. A dense, layered full-bodied wine, young no question about that. Pure dark berry fruit flavours with fine grippy tannins, oak spice on the mid-palate. As slick as the oil off an Italian mob papa’s head. Drink 2015 – 2025.
