Suckling über: Shiraz St. Henri

-- Suckling: A rare vintage of only shiraz in this wine, the sourcing is Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, Adelaide Hills, Wrattonbully and Clare Valley. A very handy vintage of this classically styled Penfolds red. Bright hearty fruit dominates amid earth, tar and dark nutty elements; boot polish too, really deep. The palate has seamless flow and build with immense concentration at play. Dark liquorice, blackberry and plum are swathed in deeply ripe, smooth but strong tannins. The finish holds and holds, with dark plum here too. Having terrific length and depth, this will go down as one of the greatest ever St. Henri releases. 98/100

Parker über: Shiraz St. Henri

-- Parker: Very deep purple-black in color and showing an attractive nose of warm blackcurrants, blueberries and licorice with a complex undercurrent of mocha, cedar, menthol and grilled meat, the full-bodied 2010 St Henri Shiraz is relatively rich in the mouth, offering tons of fruit structured by firm, fine tannins and refreshing acid. It finishes with great persistence. 97+/100

Wine Enthusiast über: Shiraz St. Henri

-- Wine Enthusiast: This dense, richly textured wine packs in a ton of cassis and blackberry fruit. Yet the tannins are firm, the acids crisp. Because this wine is matured in old, large oak vats—and hence exposed to less oxygen than it would if matured in small barrels—it often needs considerable time in the bottle to come around. 95/100

Wine Spectator über: Shiraz St. Henri

-- Wine Spectator: Focused, expressive and complex, this energetic version offers a fleshy mouthful of blueberry, fresh currant and plum flavors, shaded with spice and loamy earth notes, lingering effortlessly on the long finish. This has the goods to age gracefully for decades. 95/100
