94/100
A classic St Henri, much more akin to a Rhône Syrah than an Aussie Shiraz. Lifted aromatics, with floral notes of sappy iris that open up into spice and graphite layered over purple fruit. Lovely purity on the palate, with fine, silky tannins; aged in large vats, the oak influence is imperceptible. Wisps of smoke, dried herbs and dark spice dance over the lingering finish. Lithe, with rich plum fruit and admirable freshness; so enjoyable.

Glass-staining ruby. Displays expansive aromas of dark fruit liqueur, incense, violet and spicecake, along with hints of cola and cracked pepper that build with air. Fleshy and seamless on the palate, offering concentrated black and blue fruit and floral pastille flavors that are brightened by a smoky mineral nuance. Supple and appealingly sweet on an impressively long, floral-driven finish that's framed by youthful, well-knit tannins.

This bottle was opened in front of me and served without decanting. Containing 4% Cabernet Sauvignon and with a deep garnet-purple color, the 2014 Shiraz St Henriz has a relatively shy nose of black plums, black cherries and mulberries with nuances of underbrush, fruit cake and damp soil. The full-bodied palate has satisfying richness, with firm, rounded tannins supporting the earthy fruit layers, finishing with good depth and persistence.
