Henschke Lenswood Giles Pinot Noir 2009
|
NOTES
The rainfall was below average in the lead-up to the 2009 vintage in the Adelaide Hills. Spring was mild with rainfall periods in October and mid-December; however, overall it was one of driest starts to the year since 1957. Fine flowering weather at the end of November allowed good flowering and average yields with the vines showing vigorous growth. A dry, early summer followed, which encouraged good growth and some restriction on berry and bunch size.
TASTING NOTES
Deep garnet with violet hues. An alluring sweet perfume of musk, rosewater and lifted spicy black cherries supported by gamy, savoury scents and smoky hints. The rich, dense palate shows complex layered flavours of dark cherries and white pepper. Fine, grainy tannins create mid-palate depth and structure with an elegant, lingering finish.
REVIEWS
Relatively light bodied but very well balanced and structured, with red cherry fruit given complexity with a light touch of spice, long finish.
Rating 94, James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2011
