McHenry Hohnen, Rolling Stone, Margaret River, 2013

Score: 95 Points, Joint Top Scoring Wine

Showing a little more evolution in terms of colour in the glass, and on the nose, this is a full-bodied, rich and ripe style with plenty of concentration for further ageing. Still youthful on the palate, there are intense flavours of damson and bitter cherry fruits, complemented by nicely integrated oak, firm tannins and layers of flavour. Drinking Window 2020 – 2030

McHenry Hohnen, Rolling Stone, Margaret River, 2014

Score: 92 Points

Powerful, quite pungent and dominated by dark-fruit characters: there is no shortage of intent here. Fleshy, quite showy on the palate, but with refined glossy oak and fine-grained tannins. A serious wine with the depth and concentration to age very well. A classic Margaret River example, well worth buying and laying down for several years. Drinking Window 2022 – 2030
