Community Tasting Note

Monday, February 2, 2004 - NobleRottersSydney - Old Penfolds & 2001 Bin releases (Lucio's, Paddington): Red & black. The only St Henri where any oak appears evident on the nose. There’s plenty of chocolatey blackberry fruit as well, which contributes to a powerful palate. Tannins are fine and strong, and contribute to a long finish. Acid is pronounced. Really the wine is all arms & legs, but the components are all there. Don’t touch for 10 years. Perhaps this was one wine of the 99 vintage where Penfolds really did hit the target.
