Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2020 Giftbox 750ml

St Henri has gained a devoted following among collectors due to its well-established style, sophisticated profile, and the potential for aging. What sets it apart from other high-quality Australian red wines is its unique characteristic of not relying on new oak. The 2020 release of St Henri showcases a palate that combines sweet and savory flavors, including fresh blueberry, exotic spice, and olive brine. It remains a true representation of the classic St Henri.

Remaining true to its distinctive style, the palate of St Henri offers a savory experience. The presence of Japanese nori paper and olive brine introduces a delightful umami nuance. The mid-palate is grounded by fresh blueberry and mulberry leaf, while the addition of exotic spices such as Alleppey turmeric, toasted cumin, and pimento adds intrigue. The tannins exhibit a pleasing tactile quality akin to Dutch cocoa. This classic St Henri wine is one that will greatly benefit from extended cellaring.
