Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2014 750ml

Celebrate the timeless elegance of Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2014, a distinguished alternative to the heavily oaked style of Australian Shiraz. First crafted in the 1950s, St Henri has earned a cult following for its graceful ageing potential, rich fruit expression, and restrained use of oak. The 2014 vintage continues this legacy with structure, complexity, and impeccable balance. Made predominantly from Shiraz with a small inclusion of Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine was matured in large, seasoned oak vats to preserve its vibrant fruit profile. The result is a beautifully layered red, textural, expressive, and built to evolve over decades. A favourite among collectors and Penfolds aficionados. Halliday Wine Companion - 95 PointsMatured for 12 month in 50+yo large oak vats. No barrel fermentation, no oak flavours of any description, but none needed. This is all about fruit purity, shiraz with the faintest damask of blackcurrant wrapped around it. More than any other of the top range of the Penfolds red wine hierarchy, will repay patience. James Halliday Tasting NotesAroma: Ripe blackberry, dark cherry, and mulberry, hints of mocha, anise, and dried herbs, subtle earthy and savoury notesPalate: Rich plum and dark berry fruits, fine tannins and a silken texture, notes of dark chocolate and spice on a long, elegant finish Food Pairing SuggestionsPerfect with slow-cooked beef short ribs, roast lamb with rosemary, aged cheddar, or mushroom and truffle risotto.
