PenfoldsSt Henri Shiraz 1999 Magnum 1.5L
About this product
Penfolds St Henri is a dramatic contrast to Penfolds Grange. St Henri is pure, unadorned Shiraz, virtually alone among highquality Australian reds in that it has never relied on new oak. It was created in the mid-1950s (first commercial vintage 1957) and has gained a new lease on life in the 1990s as its quality and distinctive style became better understood. Penfolds St Henri is rich and plush when young and gains soft, earthy, mocha-like characters as it ages.

Bramble, briar and spice aromas; then a palate with bitter chocolate, licorice and blackberry joining the background components of the bouquet; very well handled tannins; Penfolds is on top of this aspect of the game.
