Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 1999

I can hardly remember this as a young wine but its quality certainly surprises me - it's a cracking wine. It's also drinking really spiffily right now, and will keep doing so for the next five or so years. Leather, raspberries, a touch of cedar and an elegant, long finish ... this is Australian red wine drinking in very attractive style. Drink: 2005-2012. 94 points.
