Penfolds 2007 St. Henri Shiraz (South Australia)

Country: Australia / St. Henri
Variety: Shiraz South Australia
Winery: Penfolds / South Australia

The 2007 St. Henri remains broodingly dark in both color and flavor profile. Blackberry and plum notes are accented by roasted meat, leather and mocha in this full-bodied, densely packed wine. The tannins are a bit chewy right now, but the finish is long and reveals promising glimmers of fruit that portend well for aging. Drink 2018–2025 and beyond.
