1972 Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 750ml

*Very high shoulder & slight label damage

The 1972 Penfolds St Henri Shiraz is a remarkable piece of Australian wine history, now over half a century old. Crafted in the classic St Henri style—matured in large, seasoned oak vats—this vintage focuses on varietal purity and long-term cellaring potential rather than new oak influence.

The nose displays evolved and tertiary characters of dried fruits, leather, cedar, cigar box, and earthy spice, with subtle traces of dark cherry and plum still lingering. On the palate, it is elegant and savoury, with softened tannins and a refined balance between fading fruit, savoury depth, and gentle acidity. A wine of grace, complexity, and rare provenance, offering collectors a unique opportunity to experience Penfolds heritage.

Serving & Cellaring:

Best enjoyed with braised game, roasted lamb, or aged cheeses. This vintage is at peak maturity and should be opened with care, offering a fragile yet unforgettable tasting experience.
