From Australia’s largest family-owned wine company, a wine that’s easy to drink, and easy to understand. It’s dry, full-bodied and softly structured, with aromas and flavours of blackberry, cherry, liquorice, vanilla bean and chocolate. The ripe berry-fruit notes lead to a long, spicy finish. Serve with grilled lamb chops.
The world’s most popular Cognac, Hennessy VS is the modern-day equivalent of the original Hennessy 3-Star. It is an expression of expertise and consistency, centuries in the making. Intense character and full-bodied flavours of toasted almond, fresh grapes, and citrus zest make this ideal served neat or in a cocktail.
Plush aromas of black cherry, baked strawberry, caramel and vanilla make for a rich, inviting nose. There’s a hearty texture to the palate, yet freshness remains intact, with a ripe boysenberry flavor that’s accented by licorice and fennel pollen. Score – 94.
