Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2010 750ml, South Australia

Expert Reviews

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 97+pts - Very deep purple-black in color and showing an attractive nose of warm blackcurrants, blueberries and licorice with a complex undercurrent of mocha, cedar, menthol and grilled meat, the full-bodied 2010 St Henri Shiraz is relatively rich in the mouth, offering tons of fruit structured by firm, fine tannins and refreshing acid. It finishes with great persistence. Drink it 2015 to 2030+.- Feb 2014

James Halliday's Wine Companion - 97 pts - Arguably the most anticipated Penfolds release of '14, this is a standout St Henri of the modern era. The gentle touch of maturation in large, old vats propels the purity and definition of a benchmark vintage. It's elegant and effortless, framing impeccable fruit in finely honed tannins; a shiraz of space, grace, and enduring longevity. Date tasted 26 Jan 2014. Drink by 2040.

Wine Spectator - 95 pts - Focused, expressive and complex, this energetic version offers a fleshy mouthful of blueberry, fresh currant and plum flavors, shaded with spice and loamy earth notes, lingering effortlessly on the long finish. This has the goods to age gracefully for decades. Best from 2016 through 2030. 99 cases imported. -HS Aug 31 2014
