See previous notes. From a warm vintage. Typical Penfolds DNA of choc/malt/mocha with Blackberry, mulberry. Palate strength remains at 17 years of age. Supple, pliant smooth tannins with great persistence. 15 months in older American hogsheads.

Deep Ruby in colour. Sweet rich blackberry notes as well as liquorice and chocolate aromas. Rich sweet and full bodied from this warm Barossa vintage- a solid core of ripe black fruits which will keep this wine maturing for years. That solid core of fruits, after 13 years is starting to fragment and give this lovely earthy red and black fruited perfume - still a long way to go into the early 2030s. The first of 4 bottles in my cellar. Next in a few years.

This is my favourite red wine - no aftertaste, tight, crisp finish on the palate ... most beautiful wine with steak.
