Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2011
POA
Description
COLOUR
Purple rim, black core.
NOSE
Blackness prevails… black pudding, black shoe polish (and tanned leather),
black liquorice, black olive, black jelly-beans?
Scents of liqueured cherry, saturated dark plum, beetroot and
a cooling humbug peppermint impression.
From beneath, a waft of dark paste – quince/mocha/praline/coffee grind…
ristretto (double!)
PALATE
How much space do we have ? A complex/kaleidoscopic flavour mosaic presides.
These flavours appear turbo-charged – liqueured fruits, elderberry, wild raspberry,
pomegranate, praline, almond.
Full-bodied – rich, dark and concentrated, and yet still chewy, fresh and youthful
Buying vintage wines entails inherent buyer risks, and the transportation process can potentially impact the quality and condition of the wine. While we do everything possible to ensure back vintage wines are of the finest provenance, OLD WINES (10 years or older from date of purchase) ARE NOT GUARANTEED IN ANY WAY.
– potently geared/tuned.
Excellent length – driven by waves of intense fruits, a well of unbridled fine tannins,
and a wash of awakening acidity.
