  Beautiful. Still robust but now ageing with elegance and grace

  ive had a long love hate relationship with St Henri. From the 60's they are superb. From the 70's and 80's hmmmm pfft Meh. Except say 1976. From the 89 vintage ( a cracker) i think they got motoring a bit better. This 95 was never a wine to knock socks off and basically dismissed by me as worthy in my cellar. And a lesser vintage. Well Yodamark could not have been more wrong. This was lovely and at its peak and rich full sweet fruit with both Shiraz and Cabernet bouncing off each other. Enjoy now but it wont fall over in the next few years. Needs good steak. But nonetheless very impressive and i gather a relative bargain at auction. Worth seeking out. and if i compare it to the 93 Grange consumed on the trip , it hosed the Grange.

  Never really got going after a promising start - depth faded away. Still a pleasant drink but probably beyond it’s best.

  Similar note. Tonight more complete. Black fruit, resolved smooth palate, a touch of spice and good length.

  Rich and complete. Notes of blood and blackberry. Spicy cinnamon on a good finish
