McHenry Hohnen Hazel Vineyard BDX 2021 from Margaret River is a refined, single‑vineyard Bordeaux‑style red that leans into cassis, dark plum and redcurrant with subtle violet, cedar, tobacco and bay leaf complexity. It feels very classical in aroma, with that cool coastal Margaret River lift.

The palate is medium‑plus in body but wonderfully poised – ripe black fruits, graphite and dark chocolate wrapped in bright acidity and fine, gravelly tannins that build without ever feeling heavy. It’s polished, savoury and clearly built with cellaring in mind, yet already approachable with a decent decant.

Food‑wise, McHenry Hohnen Hazel Vineyard BDX 2021 is in its element alongside roast lamb, rib‑eye, venison, slow‑braised beef, mushroom dishes and aged hard cheeses. It’s a serious, single‑site Margaret River Bordeaux blend that will sit comfortably at the centre of a Sunday roast now and evolve gracefully over the next decade or more.
