The 2018 St Henri Shiraz is a terrific effort, perhaps rivaling the top-flight wines under this label in 1976 and 1986. Remarkably fine and silky in texture yet simultaneously dense and concentrated, it showcases the amazing fruit harvested in 2018. Boysenberry, mulberry and mocha shadings all swirl together effortlessly in a whorl of full-bodied elegance, finishing long and effortless. Mainly Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale, it includes smaller amounts of fruit from Port Lincoln, Robe, Padthaway, Clare Valley and the Adelaide Hills, all aged 12 months in large old wooden vats.

Drink: Drink now 2050
Deep crimson. Pure ethereal blackberry pastille, black olive tapenade aromas with herb garden/sage notes. Fresh and expressive ripe blackberry, cassis, dark plum, blueberry dark chocolate flavours and "a slick, supple texture that nails the brief for what a contemporary St Henri should be". (NR) Graphite firm and minerally at the finish with persistent dark berry fruits. A classic near-perfect South Australian Shiraz vintage. A St Henri for the ages. 14.5% alc "Big and bold but refined and graceful despite the clear tannic hold and grip. Feels supremely well worked and finessed. Powerful but not punchy, streamlined but not too tense. Precise. Lovely." (GH) 100% Shiraz Barossa Valley (29%), McLaren Vale, Port Lincoln, Robe, Padthaway, Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills
