2005 St Henri Shiraz Penfolds

St Henri Shiraz Penfolds
Showing a beautiful perfume of crushed red and warm black fruits, this wine is ripe but not overly so on the palate. It’s totally beguiling because of its New World flare combined with Old World purity, and really is rather spectacular.

St Henri Shiraz Penfolds
Distinctive, traditional winemaking style that hasn't changed in half a century. 'People have come back to this style,' according to Gago. Shiraz aged very traditionally in vast (1,460 litre) old oak puncheons at least 50 years old, sometimes with some Cabernet, 10% in this instance. He strongly recommends halves of St Henri 1962 for current drinking! I much enjoyed the 2005. Warm, super-fruity mulberry fruit. Very round and polished and gorgeous. Wonderfully fresh, yet super-welcoming. Very lush and approachable with a merest hint of brine. Big and plummy, with, at the moment, more obvious tannins than Grange actually!
