Henschke Johann’s Garden 2020

This blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre is Henschke’s heavy-hitting Grenache blend. It’s generally quite beefy and brooding but the 2020 vintage has bought out a more approachable side with good ripeness and generosity of fruit. Mid to deep ruby in colour, it is a little reserved right now with blackberry and dark cherry fruits plus an attractive spicy edge That savouriness continues on the palate with touches of earth and animal skin over ripe blackberry fruit flavours and pliable, approachable tannins. It’s a solid Johann’s vintage that probably needs a couple of years to hit its peak.
