Penfolds, St Henri Shiraz, 2001 ($40?)

Well, at $40 a steal compared to the retail price. A nice smooth drink, which ought to have been drunk before the Sean Thackrey Orion which was at risk of impacting the palate too much. Life changing? No. Age and reputation aside, I think there is better value at $30-$40 for a shiraz. But a nice wine nonetheless.
