Henschke Johann’s Garden 2023

Henschke Johann’s Garden 2023
$65, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, Barossa Valley.

Johann’s Garden is a Barossa Valley blend of grenache and mataro. This 2023 release is right up there for quality, its raspberry and red cherry flavours cut with sweet spice, rust, earth and redcurrant, though there are pretty floral characters dancing throughout. This wine is both fresh and solid at once. It’s also drinking like a charm right now, though it will hold and mature for quite some years to come. 93 points.
