Following on from the highly-rated 2018 vintage (released in 2021) this second edition of Penfolds' first Wine of the World continues to blend prime Napa Valley fruit (about 87%) with top parcels of Shiraz sourced from around South Australia, maturing the whole for 16 months in American (80% new) and French (20% new) barriques. Chocolate, coffee and coconut are the key flavour profiles here, enmeshing with spiced fruitcake, liquorice and more savoury tarmac notes. Very intense in flavour yet surprisingly lifted in its density thanks to brisk acidity, before a raft of structured tannins and charred oak weigh in. Impressive grip and power, and while its youthful generosity can be appreciated now, it will no doubt reward with careful cellaring. Released at AU$xxx
