Elegant and pure fruited with high energy and drive. An unrelenting flow of rich, expressive black fruit - utterly gorgeous and generous. A wine that reflects the glory of the 2018 vintage exactly. Ripened to the minute black fruit, cola, school-yard licorice block, graphite, sweet wild berries and dark chocolate flavours provide the sensory delight. This St Henri is vital, pure, powerful and with wonderful approachability, even now.

Deep crimson. A beautiful St Henri vintage. Gorgeously seductive blackberry, mulberry, dark cherry, sweet plum aromas with dark chocolate, graphite, roasted walnut notes. Inky and sinuous palate with plentiful ripe blackberry, mulberry fruits, fine looseknit chalky tannins, superb mid-palate viscosity and underlying chinotto, roasted walnut notes. A standout vintage with superb middle-weight stature, fruit complexity and mineral length. Lovely to drink now but wait a few years to allow further development.
