Cork

Soft wood touches on the nose alongside herbal sage, raspberries, nutmeg and cinnamon. Juicy and taught, this has tension and purity, a drive from start to finish. It feels quite strict and linear at the moment, all delivered in one straight line but with focus, persistence and detail - this one will require some patience. I like the styling, it's well worked with tannins that are fine and integrated, supporting the dark blackcurrant, black cherry and blackberry flavours with minty freshness from the start. Mouthwatering but also with structure, it feels stylish and sophisticated - absolutely delivers what you expect from Penfolds. Ageing 17 months in French oak hogsheads (56% new, 44% one year old).
