Gorgeous earthy perfume, Forest Floor - could be Burgundian. A Tawny edge to the colour. My 2nd favourite Aussie Pinot after the Bass Phillip Reserve. Savoury cherry nuances on the palate but overall more savoury than fruit driven. Light to medium bodied. Very fine Tannins with natural acid still present. I expected more mid palate fruit for what Phillip Jones described as “one of our best vintages” to that point. They have had better ones since IMO. I would not normally taste a BP Premium under 10 years (this being the first of 4) but having tasted this I wish I had had one say four years ago. In the category of wines I buy every vintage - like the Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay. — 7 years ago

Arguably the wine of the day in the Aussie icons tasting. The great thing about St Henri is that Penfolds lets the gorgeous old vine fruit speak instead of clobbering it over the head with American Oak. Some herbal/liquorice aromas. On palate mellowing black fruits, medium bodied with great length - superb persistence of flavour. At its peak IMO but will probably last for many more years- just becoming more savoury. — 9 years ago

Yep. Big fruit, tobacco, leather. One of the best Aussie wines I've had. Went really well with short ribs with coffee and chipotle seasoning at The Ranch House in Ojai/Miners Oaks — 10 years ago

Finally seeing a trend among Aussie cabs. They tend to taste like shiraz's, not a bad thing at all. — 11 years ago

Classic "big" Aussie notes of prune and Port, but with some interesting secondary aromatics. Minor (if any?) acidification. I dig it, even if I can really only have a glass. — 10 years ago

The democratic winner of our 1995 tasting. Has been my personal Aussie Cabernet for some time. Jancis gave this vintage 19 points. Packed with all the Cabernet descriptors with the trademark Marg River herbaceousness. 19- — 11 years ago

Tastes like a young Aussie Shiraz. Good fruit but not much complexity, lacking secondary notes. Screw cap. Part of a Garagiste mystery case. If I had another bottle I wouldn't open it for a few years. — 8 years ago

Really like this Aussie blend. A bit of musty horse barn on the nose. Smooth, dusty, long finish. Will buy again. Was on sale for $11.99 - great deal. — 10 years ago

First tasted this #NewYearsEve #wine at an Aussie wine seminar at the SWE Conference. Loved it then... Without palate fatigue, love it now!

This Tasmanoise Sparkler is clear to pale gold. The bubble are hyperactive. The mouthfeel is clean and dry white cherry up front with a finishing yellow apple. The finish sinks and and the flavor lingers nicely. The bubbles are a bit aggressive overall.

A great change up from Champagne. I think it's great for the price. Opened 12/31/15 — 10 years ago
