"To give you an idea of where this wine sits in the recent St Henri hierarchy, it’s not up to the standard of either the 1996 or the 1998, but it’s far, far better than either the 1995 or 1997 – it’s a respectable wine that will cellar well. Built on a foundation of plum and Xmas cake flavour (it’s a more voluptuous St Henri than is the norm), the palate’s fruity, raisiny, tannic and blessed by a cascade of cassis. 94+ Points" - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
