TASTING NOTES

A true Australian Shiraz icon for evenings that call for something special. Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2018 is plush, polished and beautifully refined, with generous layers of blackberry, dark plum and rich dark chocolate.

Savoury spice, earthy depth and silky tannins add lovely complexity, while maturation in large, seasoned oak vats lets the fruit, vintage and vineyard character shine without the influence of new oak. The result is a distinctive premium red wine with impressive depth, length and a smooth, lingering finish.

Pour it alongside premium steak, roast lamb, slow-cooked beef or a richly flavoured Sunday roast, and settle in for a memorable moment. Sourced from a premium private cellar, this collectible 2018 Australian Shiraz is drinking beautifully now and will reward careful cellaring.

A great St. Henri and, although multi-regional, this is very much a wine that speaks of the Barossa Valley, with aromas of ripe blackberries and red plums that are so fresh, together with tobacco, young-leather, earth, chocolate, coal-smoke and tarry accents. Effortless depth on the palate with summer berries, framed in fine, alabaster-like tannins that are underscored with discreet power. So long and captivating.

Effortless depth on the palate with summer berries, framed in fine, alabaster-like tannins that are underscored with discreet power. So long and captivating. A blend of Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Port Lincoln, Robe, Padthaway, Clare Valley and Adelaide Hills. Drink over the next decade or more.

The wine of the entire release. An extraordinarily good St Henri and I could not encourage winelovers to fill their cellars with this wine more strongly. This will comfortably sit with 2010 and 2012 and I have no doubt that in years to come, it will be considered as one of the greatest St Henri’s ever made. It is that good. This is perfectly structured. Balance is the key. This has decades ahead. A great St Henri.
