Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2017, South Australia
Complex, youthful, richly scented with aromas of black berry fruits and new wood, dark spices, boot polish, sweet meats, clove and baked vanilla plum and black currant pie. Equally enticing and complex on the palate with black currant and red berry fruits to reflect the bouquet. Dry, youthful, firmly textured and packed with flavour. Clove and toasty wood, firm youthful tannins with a backbone of acidity. A young wine still and requires cellar time before it reaches optimum harmony. Well made, lengthy and delicious. Best drinking from 2025 through 2040+.
