(Don't tell anyone, but I often prefer St. Henri to Grange.) The 2018 is absolutely brilliant, revealing a saturated purple hue to go with a smorgasbord-like array of ripe blueberries, mulberries, iron, lavender, sage, and ground pepper. It has an almost bloody, salty character and is full-bodied, massively concentrated, opulent, and rich yet stays flawlessly balanced, has sweet tannins, and has a great finish. It's certainly more open and assessable compared to the 2016 at this same stage, but this awesome Shiraz will evolve gracefully for another 2-3 decades, if not longer. Bravo. (Drink between 2023-2053)\" Jeb Dunnuck, Oct 2023\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJS99 \"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.
