PenfoldsSt Henri Shiraz 2014
Dry, Full Bodied style of Shiraz
About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazThe St Henri CV is plastered with superlatives. For decades wines under this label have been among the best produced in Australia in, just about, any given year. And, there's never been any hurry to drink them. It's well understood that St Henris continue to improve over, sometimes, decades. 2014 saw St Henri in its usual excellent form. Classy, polished, elegant - you get the idea. Plush and complex fruit flavours, retained youthful energy and colour, softening rounded tannins and great persistence make this a wine that deserves a special place at the table. Cellar with confidence for another ten years, but drink it now if you'd like a special treat.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Matured for 12 month in 50+yo large oak vats. No barrel fermentation, no oak flavours of any description, but none needed. This is all about fruit purity, shiraz with the faintest damask of blackcurrant wrapped around it. More than any other of the top range of the Penfolds red wine hierarchy, will repay patience.
