“Stylistically, quite possibly the Penfolds red of the (2011) vintage.”
“Superior to the 2009 St Henri? Let’s wait a decade or two to confirm. Early days…”

Rating: Robert Parker 90, Wine Spectator 92
Tasting note: An impressive linear structure – tightly bound, with significant length. Boysenberry and cranberry red fruits at ease with green olive and green melon. Granular (Gravox-like) tannins, praline, nutmeg and other spices coax and unravel its St Henri textural tapestry. Shiraz, adorned differently!
