"The interesting thing is that when St Henri was first released in the 1950s, it was the same price as Grange. Now there's a $400 (plus) price gap. It's the result as much of fashion and fortune as of quality; I regularly prefer St Henri. 2004 RELEASE Super violety. Lovely. Lifted, pure, sweet but not jammy. Gorgeous really. Will be a long term stunner. Excellent tannin, without being excessive. Gorgeous purity of fruit flavour. Perfume to die for; smelling it is like sticking your head in a florist's shop. Going to be an absolute beauty."
