98/100. I recently drank a 1996 St Henri from my cellar
it was fully developed with a luxuriously rounded, velvety, elegantly persisting palateâ€¦ I adored every sip! Due reward for aging quality wine for so long. â€œYou cannot compare other alcoholic beverages to wine! Wine is a living, breathing, maturing elixir that beautifully grows from exuberant primary youth to savoury and complex old age, peaking halfway along the journey. No different to us humans; and if we don't give great wine due care, it ages much more quickly and harshlyâ€¦ same again for us humansâ€! Back to St Henriâ€¦ it is the legendary alter ego to Grange; the blend is 97% Shiraz and 3% Cabernetâ€¦ St. Henri is aged in 50 + year old 1,460
litre wooden vats as opposed to Grange's 100% use of new oak barrels. It was always intended by its founding Penfolds winemaker John Davoren, to be a more elegant expression of the Shiraz grape through adopting more traditional winemaking methods. A veritable multi
district basket of fruit is sourced across South Australia from the Barossa Valley, Eden Valley, Clare Valley, McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek, Robe and Bordertown with increasing components coming from Adelaide Hills in recent vintages. Some vines are up to 90 years old.
Smells
Enticing floral (rose) notes hover over dense dark fruit, spice, anise and tarry aromas.
