CRITIC REVIEWS
Angus Hughson
The 2021 Shiraz Mount Edelstone is a stunner, offering a tremendous mix of refinement and understated power. It is quite beautiful, although tightly bound right now, delivering a compact core of spice, bay leaf, and violets, while oak adds well-judged support. There is a balletic feel to the palate as ethereal flavors of measured ripeness are backed by firm acidity and tight tannins. This release is marked by delicious energy and overall lightness of touch-an exceptional vintage for this label.

Full screwcapped bottle just 1,277 g. 100% dry-grown, ungrafted centenarian Shiraz vines planted (unusually monovarietally for the time) in 1912 by Ronald Angas, a descendant of the Angas important in South Australian history. It was first bottled as a single-vineyard wine by Cyril Henschke in 1952. Its unique deep red-brown clay-loam to clay soils result in very low yields. Mid-depth hue and still quite crimson. Really savoury, nuanced, rewarding nose. So dense and concentrated as it hits the palate! Yet it's cool and refreshing on the finish. It already seems quite expressive, and richer than The Wheelwright. This is a real charmer. The density of fruit obscures the tannin which is just hinted at on the very end with discernible evidence of a framework. This just goes on and on Surely those with a prejudice against Australian Shiraz could be wooed by this? Some may be shocked by the start of my suggested drinking window but I stand by it. (JR)
