Huon Hooke
Big rich nose, aniseed and violets, lots of aromas in the very ripe spectrum. Big and gripping on palate: very tannic and solid. A whopper! The biggest end of St Henri style. Needs ages. Huge: will it ever soften? Drink now to 30 years.

The deep ruby/purple-hued 2001 Shiraz St. Henri offers sweet aromas of raspberries and flowers. This accessible, concentrated, medium-bodied, impeccably-balanced Shiraz possesses excellent fruit as well as background earth and wood notes. Consume it over the next 10 years.
