Following the freakish 1996 wine isn’t easy, but the 1997 St Henri is a generously flavoured and competent, if slightly simple and porty successor with attractively spicy, minty and boiled confection-like aromas of red and black berries. Typically backward in the oak department, it’s soft and supple, with vibrant dark plum and cherry fruit, tightly-knit tannins and a savoury finish.
Deep leathery aromas of bitumen, chocolate, dark cherries, plums and blackberries, scented with violets and spices. Long, succulent and savoury, with vibrant dark sour-edged and lightly salty fruits wound around a firm spine of powdery tannins. Big, but elegant, without a hint of overripeness or dead fruit.
One of the finest releases ever of this benchmark shiraz, with an alluring and slightly meaty fragrance of dark plums, blackberries, dark chocolate, backed by spicy and smoky undertones. Made in the traditional velvet-smooth Australian ‘burgundy’ style, it’s soft and juicy, with a deeply flavoured and layered palate whose deep, dark core of vibrant dark fruit flavours is tightly wrapped in fine, approachable tannins. Marvellously long, it finishes with freshness and acidity, with underlying hints of mineral.
Well-mannered, smooth and savoury, this rich and sumptuous shiraz delivers plenty of ripe and just very slightly baked fruit framed by typically smooth and velvet-like tannin. There’s a meaty, pungent aspect about its slightly spirity aromas of blackberries, dark plums, raspberries and prunes, while its rich, thick and smoky palate of meaty dark fruits, raisins and currants finishes savoury but surprisingly fresh and vibrant, with a lingering core of persistent flavour.
Deeply fragrant with an alluring, floral and ethereal scent of blackberry liqueur, plums, dark cherries and musky spices with minty undertones of restrained oak and sweet leather, this is an elegant, fine-grained and richly flavoured example of the Australian ÔburgundyÕ style, even though its label once contained the word ÔclaretÕ. ItÕs long and brooding, with its restrained expression of pure, pristine fruit overlying a chalky backbone of kernelly tannin. Certain to flesh out magnificently.
Very fine, supple, elegant and seamless, this old-fashioned expression of the Australian ÔburgundyÕ style, is full to medium in weight, with earthy, leathery and chocolatey complexity beneath its briary expression of bright red and black fruits. Supported by fine, cherry kernel-like tannins, itÕs silky-smooth, slightly minty and meaty, finishing long and savoury with nuances of licorice, raisins and menthol.
Assertive, slightly raw-edged and blocky, this meaty and leathery, older-styled St Henri is a counterpoint to the elegance of the 2005 vintage. Scented with reserved aromas of dark plums, red berries, baked earth and subtle undertones of larger, older oak, itÕs also a fraction hot and spirity. Its immature, but rich and generous palate of slightly raisined, but deeply concentrated flavours of dark plums, blackberries and currants finishes with a firm, powdery grip and a note of spice cake.
A smooth, meaty, ripe and juicy shiraz-dominant red built around a deep, concentrated core of rather jammy, slightly baked and briary flavours of dark berries and plums. Its intense, floral and spicy bouquet opens up with aeration, delivering penetrative small berry aromas with smoky nuances of underbrush, mocha and chocolatey. Smooth and polished, its sweetly fruited palate of plush, deeply ripened fruit and restrained oak is supported by a pliant backbone of firmish tannins, finishing soft and gentle, with fresh acids.
A delicious wine, but another of the revolving door of wine styles that in recent years have been bottled under this historic label. Laced with exotic, musky, marsala-like spices, deep floral scents and pristine aromas of dark berries and plums, it’s particularly elegant Ð certainly without the density and richness usually associated with St Henri. Underpinned by a high grade of fine-grained crunchy tannin, itÕs intense, pristine and vibrant, finishing with exemplary length and balance.
