Medium deep colour. Lovely fragrant claret style wine with exuberant fresh red cherry redcurrant, mulberry cassis aromas and roasted walnut complexity. Well concentrated and generous with inky cassis mulberry fruits, smooth velvety tannins, attractive viscosity and richness on the mid-palate and fine integrated acidity. Finishes powdery firm with superb mineral length. A hugely evocative wine; true to the original blueprint, spirit of style and the classic Penfolds multi-regional template. Delicious to drink now but should age beautifully. 14.5% Now-2040

As always, the fruit does the talking with St Henri. Wonderfully concentrated black and blue fruit flavours engage your senses. Accompanying flavours of mocha, cocao powder, malted biscuit, graphite and chestnut tannins complement the pure, rich fruit, resulting in a memorable chapter in this famous wine's history.
