Geoff Merrill Henley Shiraz 2007 Current Release Grapefruit pithy on the long

Grapefruit pithy on the long

for perhaps the first time ever in seeing these wines on release

There is terrific punch and delineation to the classy and refined medium weight flavours that flash plenty of minerality on the ever-so-slightly drying finish that I ascribe to the recent bottling

It is supple

with floral overtones and oak as garnish

Geoff Merrill Henley Shiraz 2007 Current Release Grapefruit pithy on the long#1 of 77 2007 Shiraz from McLaren Vale. Wonderfully maturing, this delectable shiraz shows dark fruit richness together with smoked meat, dark chocolate, roasted nut, leather and dark spice characters on the nose, leading to a sumptuous palate that is concentrated and gracefully opulent. Dense, silky and persistent, the wine displays awesome power as well as structure and impeccable balance. 5 stars. Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
