PENFOLDS ST.HENRI SHIRAZ 750 ML
LKR 37,300.00
St Henri Shiraz is known to many to be the red wine drinkers’ red wine. The traditional handling of this iconic wine first vinified in 1957 includes the maturation in 50+ year old seasoned oak vats for over 12 months, imparting an elegance and femininity not usually associated with Penfolds. The 2013 St Henri is made from 100% Shiraz, showing traditionally rich and plush characteristics in its youth. Keep this one in the cellar for a couple of years and the soft, earthy, mocha-like characters will shine through.

Description
Deep garnet. On the nose: Lifted, racy. Rhône-ish at first, South Australia upon sitting. Bountiful aromatics ascend – initially redcurrant, cranberry, Christmas cake mix, and then the liberation of citrus (lime peel), fennel and olive. Together with Middle Eastern spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. On the palate: Svelte. Nevertheless, propels assertive tannins that build – sheeted/layered in configuration.
To please all tastes – the sweet – zabaglione, custard, raw chocolate (cocoa); and the savoury – (bone) marrow, star anise. Lingers, and certainly leaves a most appealing ‘residual’ impression for quite some time after ingestion.
