St. Henri Shiraz
South Australia, Australia
It had some expected aged notes but in good shape. Not sure if Shiraz it the variety to age. But.... what do I know?

BYO night at the restaurant
Good better than the Grange 98 brought from another table, but not even close to the reputation of the vintage or the producer

Lovely red fruit aromas of currant. Some Liquorice savouriness. From the excellent 1998 vintage and drinking at its peak but will go on for another 5 years at least. Love the fact that St Henri sees no new oak and made more in the old school European way using large format Old Oak casks. I generally buy a half dozen each year.

Oh this is aging beautifully. Almost 20 years old but still has a long life.
