*PENFOLDS SHIRAZ ST HENRI 06

Penfolds Shiraz St Henri 06

$87.00 750 MLS
Penfolds ‘St Henri’ Shiraz 2006 (18.5-/20), at 14.5% alc, 89% Shiraz and 11% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Barossa, McLaren Vale and Robe regions, aged 15 months in 50+ y.o. 1460 L vats. Very dark, bright black-ruby red in colour, this was softly full and vibrant on nose with dense, sweet, dark berry fruits along with subtle mint and pepper nuances. On palate, this was elegantly concentrated with red and black fruit flavours, subtle spice and floral elements. Somewhat shut-down at present, the underlying ripeness, fresh sweetness and concentration point to excellent potential. Track record suggests 20+ years possible.  RC Aug 10

Fragrant scents of praline and dark chocolate immediately conveyed, followed by blackberry,powdered violet & lavender (talc). Beneath, freshgreen tobacco and lively spices, cold meats/pan juices fuse together. Medium bodied and relatively 'elegant'. The palate is a stand-off: Kirsch and dark fruits versus pomegranate/cranberry and dessicated Chinese plums. Cold meat flavours - corned beef or poached silverside?

Easter weekend I flew up to Auckland and had a great time visiting family. I made sure I went to Maison Vauron, a must if you enjoy French wines and also Galbraiths to try a few craft beers.
