Henschke Kyneton Euphonium

Date: 24 May, 2011
Who: Chambo
What: 2007 Henschke Kyneton Euphonium Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot/Cabernet Franc, Barossa Valley
Purchased: GIft
Food: home made boeuf bourguignon and rice
Comments: Initial reaction from Ness: "that's nice".  She meant it in a good way!  All about the palette for mine.  Nice colour and nose etc, but really interesting in the mouth with a lot going on.  Enjoying more as it opens up.  Dark chocolate, dark fruits...but not "brooding" dark overall.  Less intense than that.  Good tannins - quite fine.  Bit of cassis from the cab sav.  One of those where you could sit there and each new mouthful seems to provide something different.
