Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2018 | Bottles & Bottles The Wine Retailer

Country: Australia

Grape varietal: Shiraz

Tasting note: 

Colour: Deep magenta, foreboding core.

Nose: Wafts ascend akin to roasted meats – seared crust of venison, game meats. Then a sprinkling of crushed kola nut, star anise, black liquorice, quince paste. A further swirl or two unleashes more familial St Henri markers of dark chocolate ganache and a biscotti nuttiness.

Palate: An assertive wedge of fruit – dark berried – boysenberry, loganberry, and blackberry – á la ‘Fruits of the Forest’.
