De St. Henri is een buitenbeentje in het assortiment van Penfolds, want is in grote houten vaten opgevoed in plaats van kleine vaten, zoals de meeste Penfolds wijnen
Dark plum colour, intense with a kick of smoky oak. A wine that showcases the concentration and spice to an Australian Shiraz even without any new oak, puts the focus on aromatics, fragrant grilled cumin, rose petal, black olives, baked spice and grilled herbs. Just awesome – but don’t approach yet, this honestly could do with six or seven years to even rev up to the starting blocks. Tasted during the September Releases, and also at an incredible vertical held in Paris back in January that more than showed how St Henri can hold its own and improve for decades | Jane Anson | 2024 | 98
