Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2019

TASTING NOTE BY MSQ

【 St Henri—對澳洲Shiraz的杰出詮釋 】

係奔富嘅歷史上，有一款同酒王Grange同样傳奇嘅酒——聖亨利（St Henri）。聖亨利可以話係奔富對西拉提子嘅另一種詮釋，雖然同Grange一樣都係南澳洲多產區混釀，但兩者風格大相徑庭。聖亨利以Shiraz西拉为主，另外加入少量Cabernet Sauvignon赤霞珠，喺釀造過程中唔會使用新橡木桶，而係喺1460升嘅巨型舊桶中熟化。

TASTING NOTE BY WINE CRITICS

The St Henri Shiraz is often one of my favorite reds in the Penfolds Collection, due to the ability of the fruit to shine through the fine sheath of oak that encases it. At this stage, and I know you will hear this often, the wine still represents good value. The 2019 St Henri Shiraz is elegantly structured, with the 2019 vintage showing the warmth and intensity without overstepping balance or line. Texturally, this will only increase in its silky shape, which comes with the gentle suggestion to decant this if you insist on drinking it within five years from harvest (i.e., anytime from now to 2024). This 2019 is shaped by abundant red and purple fruit (and a splash of blue), charry spice and fine tannins. Gorgeous.
