St Henri Shiraz 系列是 Penfolds 最具傳統特色的經典之一。與酒莊旗艦 Grange 不同，St Henri 並不依靠新橡木桶的華麗，而是以大型舊橡木桶陳釀，突顯 Shiraz 本身的純粹果香與結構。自上世紀 50 年代問世以來，一直以優雅、深邃和耐久的風格著稱，展現澳洲多產區風土的融合。這個系列的酒款在年輕時平易近人，但隨著時間陳釀，更能展現細緻的層次與非凡的陳年潛力。

2018 年的 St Henri Shiraz 是一次精彩的表現，或許足以媲美此酒莊在 1976 與 1986 年的頂級佳釀。質感極為細膩絲滑，同時又濃郁集中，完美展現了 2018 年份卓越的品質。波森莓、桑葚與莫卡的香氣交織，勾勒出優雅飽滿的風格，尾韻悠長。

這是一款偉大的 St Henri。雖然採用多區葡萄，但它依然充分展現了 Barossa Valley 的風格：成熟的黑莓與紅李香氣，伴隨煙草、新皮革、泥土、朱古力、煤煙與焦油的複雜氣息。口感富有深度，自然展現出夏季莓果風味，單寧細緻如雪花，隱含著內斂的力量。餘韻極為悠長而迷人 …… 適合在未來十年甚至更久的時間慢慢享用。
The St Henri Shiraz series is one of Penfolds’ most traditional and iconic expressions. Unlike the flagship Grange, St Henri is matured in large seasoned oak vats rather than new barrels, allowing the pure character of Shiraz to shine. Since its release in the 1950s, it has been celebrated for its elegance, depth, and longevity, reflecting the harmony of Australia’s multi-regional terroirs. St Henri wines are approachable in their youth, yet reveal remarkable complexity and aging potential over time, making them a timeless benchmark in the Penfolds portfolio.

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.

A great St. Henri and, although multi-regional, this is very much a wine that speaks of the Barossa Valley, with aromas of ripe blackberries and red plums that are so fresh, together with tobacco, young-leather, earth, chocolate, coal-smoke and tarry accents. Effortless depth on the palate with summer berries, framed in fine, alabaster-like tannins that are underscored with discreet power. So long and captivating. A blend of Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Port Lincoln, Robe, Padthaway, Clare Valley and Adelaide Hills. Drink over the next decade or more.
