Penfold St Henri Shiraz 2003
Penfold St Henri Shiraz 2003
POA
Description
Colour: Deep crimson with a dark core
Nose: The nose, showing no signs of oak, is altogether different to its Shiraz partners: Grange; RWT; and Magill Estate. Chocolate and mocha aromas are woven with Christmas pudding spices, cinnamon/ nutmeg and fig and prune. The primary notes of stewed, dark berry fruits are counter-balanced by secondary notes of demi-glace and roasting pan juices
Palate: The palate is seamless with St. Henri's trademark, glossy and silky mouthfeel. Wild raspberry and loganberry fruits align with 'finessed' tannins and a refreshing acidity to aid palate tightness, inducing a continuum through (not across) the mid-palate.
2003 is a solid St. Henri release and a great example of this wine in a challenging vintage - re- affirming its 50+ year-old credentials through thick and thin
