Mattinson review of Henschke Keyneton Euphonium 2022.
$67, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, Barossa/Eden Valley.

Henschke’s Keyneton Euphonium is a blend of shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot. It’s what we used to call a “Bordeaux blend”. This release is firm and curranty with mint, vanilla cream, truffle, dark olive and tobacco characters layered throughout. It feels both serious and complex, an impression aided by the sinewy nature of the tannin. In some ways this wine is still settling in and getting itself comfortable; it will be a charmer once it’s had more time to mellow. 93 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
