McHenry Hohnen Hazel Vineyard BDX 2022 by McHenry Hohnen, Margaret River, is a polished, Bordeaux‑inspired blend from their certified‑biodynamic Hazel’s Vineyard – all dark fruit, graphite and savoury detail in a refined, coastal frame. This Hazel Vineyard BDX 2022 is serious yet beautifully drinkable.

In the glass, Hazel BDX 2022 typically shows blackcurrant, blackberry and dark plum, with redcurrant lift, violet, cedar and bay leaf, over cocoa, tobacco and a distinct graphite/mineral edge. It’s dry and medium‑plus bodied with bright acidity and fine, elongated tannins, carrying layers of cassis, dark chocolate and earthy spice through a long, savoury, Bordeaux‑like finish that promises excellent aging potential.

Food‑wise, it’s tailor‑made for rib‑eye, lamb rump, roast beef and slow‑braised meats, as well as rich mushroom dishes, hard cheeses and truffle‑leaning plates. It’s the kind of BDX blend you decant for an hour and pour at proper dinners – a benchmark single‑site Margaret River red that rewards both contemplation and a hearty meal.
