The 1990 Penfolds St Henri Shiraz is a benchmark vintage of this iconic South Australian label, widely regarded as one of the finest St Henri releases of its era. Crafted in the traditional style, it was matured in large seasoned oak vats for 1215 months, allowing the purity of fruit and regional character to shine.
With more than three decades of careful ageing, the wine now offers a complex and mature bouquet of blackberry, dark plum, dried fig, leather, tobacco, cedar, and savoury spice. The palate is rich and harmonious, showing layers of dark fruit, earthy depth, and velvety tannins that have softened beautifully over time. A long, graceful finish reflects both the strength of the 1990 vintage and Penfolds mastery of Shiraz.
Serving & Pairing
Decant carefully before serving to allow its mature aromatics to unfurl. Perfect alongside roast lamb, venison, or truffle-infused mushroom dishes.
Cellaring Potential
Drinking superbly now, though well-cellared bottles may continue to evolve for several more years, offering exceptional enjoyment and collectability.
