"Shiraz gets co-fermented with Viognier and then blended with Grenache and Mataro for this oh-so-Barossa red. Plump berries, chocolate, peppery spice, beet leaves and something a bit ferrous lead to a silky mouthfeel. There's power and fruit sweetness here but also transparency and regional character to boot. Drink until 2030. Christina Pickard"

"A classic Aussie blend from a classic Aussie producer, this wine needs time in decanter if drinking now for those funky reductive notes to blow off. When they do, the tang of cherries, currants and plums reveal themselves, with more delicate floral notes and a prominent line of earthy, savory, spicy, characters, like a damp forest on a cool morning. Powerful, yet more approachable young than other Henschke reds, well-placed tannins weave through the plush fruit and earthy spice lingers on the finish. Drink until 2035. Christina Pickard"

"This is a young, big-boned Rhône-style blend from one of Barossa's most esteemed and historic producers. It's unsurprising here in Shiraz country that this is the variety that dominates. If drinking now, be warned it's initially quite reductive and needs time in a decanter before those vegetal, damp earth aromas subside. Once they do, red fruit, milk chocolate and earthy spices float to the fore. The palate is full and rich, swelling with red fruit and well-integrated tannins. Drink 2022-2030. Christina Pickard"

"This vintage of Henry's Seven leads with 66% Shiraz (the rest is made up of Grenache, Mataro and Viognier) although the eucalyptus and tobacco leaf aromas trick you into thinking there must be some Cabernet in here. Green olives, coffee grounds, raisiny plums and currant fruits and a copper penny tang are all present, too, precisely put together like a neatly wrapped present, in Henschke's typically poised and polished style. A silky texture, powdery tannins and a leafy nuance mark the finish. Drink now-2027. Christina Pickard"

"This blend offers a harmony of red and blue fruit, black pepper, floral, graphite and spicy aromas wound delicately into a silky-textured palate that crunches with wet stone minerality. The tannins are fine-grained and almost seamless. Christina Pickard"

"Ätherischer Duft: Schokolade mit einer darunter liegenden, kühlen Kräuter- und Mentholnote. Am Gaumen cremig mit asreichendem Säurerückgrat, Kraft und Feinheit verbindend, sehr elegant! Ulrich Sautter"

"Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezenter Wasserrand. Zart balsamisch unterlegter Nougattouch, ein Hauch von Eukalyptus, schwarzen Beeren, facettenreiches Bukett mit Gewürznuancen. Mittlere Komlexität, reife schwarze Herzkirschen, feiner Säurebogen tragende Tannine, etwas Nougat und Kardamom im Abgang, ein eleganter Speisenwein."

"A harmonious blend of cherries, cedar, chocolate and mint, Henry's Seven somehow manages to be creamy in texture without carrying any excess weight--it seems almost light on its feet, lingering elegantly on the finish."
yr. 2006 Wine Enthusiast:
91 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Henschke Henry's Seven" from the vintage 2006 on 01.01.2009 with 91 of 100 points.
"Roughly two-thirds Shiraz, the 2006 Henry's Seven is a lush, full-bodied blend that combines dark, feral notes of cola and cured meats with brighter red-fruit flavors and an herbal tinge. It's a bit warm on the finish, but that only serves to accentuate its spicy complexity. Drink now-2012."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Henschke Henry's Seven" from the vintage 2004 on 01.01.2007 with 90 of 100 points.
"Wonderfully spicy and complex on the nose, with scents of smoke, spice, mulled blackberries and a hint of caramel. This is round and full in the mouth without being heavy, with spice-driven flavors but also dark fruit flavors that finish firm, crisp and long. A blend ofSyrahGrenache andeach Mourvèdre and Viognier."

"A blend ofShirazGrenache andViognier; I enjoyed this year's vintage much more than last year's. It's forward and approachable, with black and red cherry fruit wrapped in a black-earth blanket."

"Disappointing, considering the wine's pedigree. Sweet black fruit on the nose follows through to the palate, where it's still sweet, but mighty dilute. Finishes with some oak. What happened?"
