“I vividly remember trying a 1971 St Henri when I worked in a retail store in Sydney and it knocked my socks off. I’ve been besotted with the wine every since. Deep magenta-splashed crimson in the glass, with fruit notes of satsuma plum, blackberry, blueberry and boysenberry. Hints of olive tapenade, baking spices, tea cake, roasting meats, earth and dark chocolate. Considerable fruit depth as it unfurls on the palate, with a ferrous edge to the tannin profile providing ample support. The wine finishes long, balanced and true.” – James Halliday 96 Points
