Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2020 750ml

A time-honoured alternative expression of shiraz, a plush counterpoint to Grange that does not rely on any new oak.

On the nose the fruit profile is a delight, oak playing no role in the aromatics. Shiraz, unadulterated! The descriptors need to be coaxed from the glass with a gentle swirl. Fruits of the forest are first to emerge, berry conserve, strawberry flan and rhubarb tart. There is a hit of confectionary, reminiscent of red glace cherries. Savoury notes include German blutwurst spiced sausage, pan scrapings from roast lamb and salt cured beef with black peppercorns. Ferric notes of iron filings and whetstone swarf round out an impressive showing.

True to form, the palate is quite savoury. Japanese nori paper and olive brine offer a very morish umami nuance. Fresh blueberry and mulberry leaf anchor the core of the mid-palate. Exotic spices adding intrigue, Alleppy turmeric, toasted cumin, pimento. The tannins are very tactile, comparable to Dutch coco. A classic St.Henri that will reward extended time in the cellar.
