Tasting Notes
COLOUR Deep inky blood-red NOSE The veil long clasped by St Henri is aromatically lifted. A 2018 St Henri cork is extracted revealing: Clinically: The elution of flinty pencil and cordite. Appetisingly: Warmed black olive - mustardy spiced wild rocket, haloumi. Savoury: Scents of a Greek flat-leaf parsley salad, eggplant, capers. Exotically: Freshly sliced fig and cut-rhubarb laced with cinnamon, cola spice, Chinotto, dusted nuts. PALATE Fruits (white plum, fresh fig and quandong) and charcuterie savouries abound. Fresh vibrant acidity abetted by the cut-rhubarb noted aromatically above, and liquorice root. Toasted pumpkin seed flavours, tannin-dry yet not puckering. Mouth-watering, finely etched tannins ‘mist up’ the palate spectrum – a tactile fog! Oak – where art thou?Product Details
