Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2015

Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2015Penfolds Rewards of Patience tasting panel 2021 5 5 rating St Henri is a time honoured and alternative expression of Shiraz, and an intriguing counterpoint to Grange. It is unusual among high quality Australian red wines as it does not rely on any new oak.
