Penfolds St. Henri Shiraz 2009
South Australia, AustraliaStriking iron aromas sweep across dried and fresh black cherries and blackberry thorns. Finessed and polished black fruits on the palate - black cherry, anise and cassis - alongside dried herbs, heady eucalyptus and fine pepper. St. Henri (junior to Grange) presents masculine and stately. Palate is structured and tannins are tight and grippy - this is wound tight and ready for the years to gently unfold (10+). Lengthy and well-knit fruit now, decant and pour with dry aged beef tenderloin.Tasted: 20 March 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $65.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
