Drink now–2027 14.5% alc McHenry Hohnen G 92 McHenry Hohnen Tempranillo 2021 The 2021 McHenry Hohnen packs a punch with its layers of old leather and tobacco pouch sitting over a rich core of blackberry aromas. Good definition to follow, compact and muscular with mouth-coating tannins well matched to chocolaty flavours which are a little unusual in Margaret River. The tannins in particular are firm and fine, while the overall package is complex, balanced, and will age surprisingly well. Drink 2026–2033
