2016年的Penfolds St. Henri Shiraz 展現了Penfolds豐富的傳承與精湛的釀酒工藝。這款南澳大利亞紅葡萄酒，主要是西拉和少量赤霞珠的混釀，經過老橡木桶陳年，賦予了葡萄酒複雜的個性，同時保留了純淨的果香。酒體呈現深磚紅色核心與淺紅色邊緣，香氣迷人且引人入勝，黑色水果與鹹香料的交織。口感上立即展現其存在感，紅色與深色水果的飽和度，包括新鮮的李子與榅桲，都包裹在奶油質地中。肌肉感十足但又精緻的單寧將豐滿的果實緊密連結，釀造出一款值得收藏的佳釀，並承諾優雅地演變。建議醒酒兩小時，以充分體驗其深度，並與烤羊排或牛肉威靈頓等濃郁菜餚完美搭配。
The 2016 Penfolds St. Henri Shiraz is a testament to the rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of Penfolds. This South Australian red blend, primarily Shiraz with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, is matured in seasoned large oak vats, which imparts a complex character without dominating the wine's pure fruit profile. The wine presents a dark brick-red core with a crimson rim, and a nose that is both captivating and intriguing, with a mélange of black fruits and savory spices. On the palate, it delivers an immediate presence, with a saturation of red and dark fruits, including fresh prune and quince, all wrapped in a creamy texture. The muscular yet refined tannins knit together the plush fruit, resulting in a collectable vintage that promises to evolve gracefully. Decanting for two hours is recommended to fully appreciate its depth, and it pairs beautifully with robust dishes such as grilled lamb chops or beef wellington.
