2018 PENFOLDS SHIRAZ ST. HENRI SOUTH AUSTRALIA 750ML

Colour : Dark brick-red core crimson on rim.
Nose : A wine that immediately invokes interest – its nose endearingly captivating/enticing/intriguing.
Fruits propelled from glass – black cherry mulberry blackcurrant boysenberry … and more.
A subliminal waft of star anise and savoury spices (not sweet) hover above. Palate : Instant delivery demands attention. Engulfs palate … ever so deftly. No intimidation.
A pure-fruited retronasal continuum from the first sniff to the post-ingestion back-palate.
