2019 Penfolds, St Henri Shiraz, Australia

Rare for quality Australian reds, St Henriz Shiraz is aged only in large, old oak. The absence of new oak allows the fruit to speak for itself. With beautifully pure fruit on the nose, this is deep, dark and delicious. The fabulous fruit continues onto the palate, pure, black and spicy. This is kept in balance by crisp acidity and big, grippy tannins that will ensure a long life here. The finish is long, fine and wonderfully concentrated, with the spicy black and blue fruit lasting all the way to the end. For me, this is the best wine in the Penfolds range.
