Nice to hear from you again.
At first ...Hi Colin,<br /><br />Nice to hear from you again.<br /><br />At first I thought you got me. There is no doubt St. Henri had some fantastic vintages lately, for example 2010 and 2012. I don't have much experience drinking this wine from the 90s, but this is the difference to Grange, I think: St. Henri does not get the top grapes, although it gets very good grapes. Access to this quality has probably not changed. Then you have generally improved winemaking and great vintages, bingo.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Thomas Alontinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03303383808768521404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8538446535011951676.post-24668063007512554232016-09-22T07:59:46.953+10:002016-09-22T07:59:46.953+10:00Hello Thomas,
In relation to the sentiment of your...Hello Thomas,<br />In relation to the sentiment of your comments in the first paragraph, you have previously applied this theory also to Bin 389, which incidentally I whole heartedly agree.<br />Fifty dollars plus for just another red wine from the Barossa is a bit hard to take. As a consequence I am no longer a Bin 389 purchaser.<br />What is your opinion on how St.Henri has fared over the same period?<br /><br />Regards<br />Colin<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
