Tasting Notes
Vinous 94
Inky ruby. Expansive black and blue fruit, vanilla, baking spice and floral scents show superb clarity and pick up a smoky nuance with aeration. Stains the palate with sweet blueberry, cherry-vanilla, allspice and fruitcake flavors that show a suave blend of richness and vivacity. Finishes with outstanding energy, steadily building tannins and strong persistence.
Anticipated maturity: 2029-2040
Wine Advocate 96
The 2016 St Henri Shiraz is one of the finest St Henris I’ve ever tasted, rivaling the likes of the 1986 or 1976. It’s concentrated and rich, the essence of South Australia Shiraz (although it’s been lightened by the addition of 5% Cabernet Sauvignon), unleavened by any new oak. Dark and tarry, it delivers notes of espresso and black olive, plummy fruit and roasted meat. Full-bodied and dense on the palate, it ends long, dark and savory.
