"A substantial wine in all respects, with more richness and mouthfeel than many of the 1980s and ’90s; the array of black fruits with a twist of cassis is perfectly balanced, as is the oak and tannin support. Screwcap.

"There’s a lot of box ticking to be done with some of these Penfolds wines, and this vintage puts the multi back into multi-regional blend. There’s also 10% Cabernet this year too, which is nice to see.
Dark berry, pepper, old wood and leather, spice, menthol, licorice - even mixed peel. Lots going on - the sum of many parts creating a complex whole. It’s medium to full bodied yet dense with some grippy tannin traction action and an almost tangy herbal freshness mixing with rich fruit flavour and a long malty finish. It’s more your dark and savoury style of St Henri (most recently 99, 03) rather than a sweeter fruited one (98, 04), although not quite as convincing as either the 1999 or 2004. Needs a fair bit of time but certain to reward the patient.

"A full deep red, this firm and drying shiraz has a sweet, chocolatey and leathery bouquet of red berry and dark plum confiture, with hint of raisin. It’s sumptuous and sweet-fruited, dark and brambly, finishing with excellent length and a lingering firm, but tightly integrated undercarriage. (South Australia, 93/100"
