Deep, dense, dark red/purple colour. The bouquet is subdued and discreet, with fresh earth and discreet spice notes. The palate is where the fireworks really happen. It’s silky smooth, supremely elegant and fruit-sweet within its casing of fine powdery tannins. Soft and fleshy, elegant and not as full-bodied as other Penfolds reds this year. A lovely, lovely wine. (4% cabernet sauvignon. 12 months in large oak vats)
