This is a delicious early to medium drinking St Henri with all the style and finesse expected of this "wine institution". It is medium deep in colour with expressive blackberry/ raspberry/espresso/ dark chocolate. The palate medium concentrated and vibrant with black fruit/ roasted coffee flavours, spicy and supple/ chocolaty dry tannins. It finishes firm, deliciously bitter-sweet and with lovely flavour length. Its drinking really beautifully now or it can be cellared for a while.

A lesser St Henri, from a challenging, fast-ripening year. 100% shiraz, with Robe leading the blend, then McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek, Padthaway, Barossa Valley, Coonawarra and Adelaide Hills. A fragrance of violets carries through the bouquet and palate, with nuances of pepper and blueberries. Stewy fruit notes, candied strawberries and a dryness to the finish detract, but texture, fruit focus and persistence save the day.
