[SOLD-OUT] Penfolds St Henri 2008

Gary Walsh 93 Points!
"Chocolate, sage, pepper, mint and lamb, mixed berries " mainly dark " and is that a suggestion of vanilla? It's full bodied, but not heavy, just plump and round with grainy tannin offering a little grit and grip, though 'cocoa-like' may be the best description. Salty beef jerky flavours are of some concern and the wine tastes quite Langhorny on the whole, as a comment, rather than a criticism."

"91% Shiraz 9% Cabernet. 15 months in old large 1460L vats.

Deep, bright colour. Rich perfume of red berries, mocha, white pepper, ferns and olive tapenade. In the mouth a warm, richly flavoured red of concentration showing sticky red and black berry fruits with a long burr of oak reminiscent of sandalwood shavings. Some curranty complexity and lifted spice; a lick of briny acidity. Smooth and supple, fine, luscious and lengthy. Very elegant wine, not an 'old school' St Henri. Surprising verve for vintage. Drink in relative youth."
