Cellar: 4 - 5 Years (2007-2008)
ABV: 14%
Closure: Cork

The last three vintages of St. Henri have been outstanding so it’s hardly surprising that the 1999 vintage hits the mark. This wine differs from Grange and Bin 389 in that it is matured in large casks, placing less importance on oak flavour contribution and more on fruit flavour.
Tasting Notes: Very deep black crimson colour, with deep crimson hue. Excellent lifted nose with notes of spice, plum, old leather and dark chocolate aromas emerging. The palate flavours are perfectly integrated, with flavours of spice, plum, earth, black pepper and liquorice, with a complexing layer due to bottle age. Fine grained perfectly balanced tannins, followed by a very long aftertaste of spice, black pepper and liquorice. This is a very stylish wine, within everybody’s reach, unlike its older brother Grange.
