Drink 2025–2040
The St Henri point of difference is that it's aged in old, large wooden vats. Sourced from throughout South Australia, the 2017 St Henri Shiraz reveals no oak in its rather raw, unrefined notes of bloody beef, mixed berries, black olives and road tar. It's full-bodied and still tannic at this stage, with a bit of coarseness on the finish that hopefully time will soften. While not the best vintage for St Henri, it's a commendable effort that should age well.

Penfolds Rewards of Patience ★★★☆☆
Penfolds — The Rewards of Patience, Ninth Edition
Drink: Drink now 2045
Deep crimson. Raspberry pastille, blackberry fruits, with cedarwood, capsicum leafy notes. Exuberant full-bodied wine with fleshy blackberry raspberry fruits, underlying dark chocolate/liquorice flavours and loose-knit "slate-filled tannins". (JA) Structure dominates the palate, but buoyant fruit and inky density balance out the vigour. Tannins fan out, rather than taper at the finish. Drinking well now, but some years ahead of it. 14.5% alc 97% Shiraz, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon Barossa Valley (42%), McLaren Vale, Eden Valley, Port Lincoln
