Buried a dozen of this in the back of the cellar and still have 9 bottles left after this one. Great intensity yet still medium weight. Mocha Chocolate savoury plum and herb garden. A sweet medium to full bodied palate with fine grained Tannins. Just cruising at 17 years of age from a cooler vintage which resulted in a longer hang time for the grapes. Resolved Tannins. Penfolds say this will live until 2030. Lovely wine. — 5 days ago

From Polar’s Old Australian Tasting. This 89 St Henri was WOTN for me. Drinking beautifully from a lesser year. Fragrant perfumed nose and fleshy balanced palate of savoury berry and raspberry. No new oak influence as is the way with St Henri. Back decades ago St Henri was priced the same as Grange. On this showing made with the same longevity. Brilliant! — a month ago

At home in Anaheim today figuring I should focus on wines that I’ve had for awhile that may not be meant to last for 20 years. — 5 days ago

You know you have a great friend when she brings this to share when her daughter gets married! Dried herb, menthol and black fruit aromas. Cherry, anise, milk chocolate. Long, amazing finish. Cheers! — a month ago
