Tasting Notes
Colour : Deep crimson red.
Nose : This is a unique aromatic expression of the
Barossa Valley – perfumed fruit with violet-like
florals, dried mixed fruit and exotic spices. Berry
fruit nuances rise above cedary French oak.
Palate : This has the hallmarks of a great Penfolds red
wine – superb structure, excellent oak integration,
great palate weight and rich fruit. The sweet, rich
and generous dark berried Shiraz flavours make
a strong, clear statement. Pronounced savoury,
cold roast

Medium red-purple; the very elegant bouquet has savoury/spicy overtones to the cherry/plum fruit, supported by subtle French oak. The palate is no less elegant, with savoury/chocolate/berry flavours supported by fine tannins and similarly classy oak.
-by James Halliday
Bright, spicy and vibrant, jazzy with blackberry, cherry and spice
flavors, with hints of coffee and anise lingering on the extended
finish. The rich flavors are balanced with snappy acidity. Has the
intensity to age.
