2001 Penfolds Shiraz St. Henri

Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, December 8, 2021 - NobleRottersSydney - a fine finale (Fix, St James, Sydney): {magnum, cork, 14.5%} [DavidH] A spongy, crumbly cork saw this open-decanted about two hours before consumption. Pure black ink aromas. Not oak, and not too hot. The palate is voluptuous and a bit heady, semi-mature only, with medium dusty tannins and medium weight. Always warm on the palate; solid and generous in the meaty Penfolds style, although without overt oak; it’s not missed at all. This is very drinkable now although it will last an age longer thanks to fine balance and ripely-judged fruit. A good, even presence along the tongue gives a medium/long finish. Very good indeed.
