<b>1984 Penfolds St. Henri Shiraz</b>
Light brown with red tinges. Rick blackberry and prune nose, hint of smoky oak, not very developed. Palate is obviously lacking the depth or concentration of a great vintage (1984 was average for Penfolds). Medium-bodied with length that is a bit short, and slightly unbalanced. Finishes with oak, tannin, and alcohol. Appears well past its best and the fruit is fading. A good wine that has seen better days and remains one-dimensional. Consistent notes with a bottle tasted six months ago. <b>Good 16.5 / 20</b>
