Tasting note
Penfolds' 2015 St Henri should give Shiraz aromas of blackberry, dark plum and black pepper, joined by savory herbs. South Australian fruit is expected to feel broad but composed, with fine tannins lending polish and brisk acidity cutting through its ripe richness. Its peak period ends in 2034 and the full drinking span reaches 2041. A long aftertaste should develop from berry and spice toward a gentle earthy quality.
