Tasting Note
A deeply enlivened purple-red hue with an impenetrable core introduces this unmistakably Coonawarra wine, carrying the Penfolds signature while presenting a captivating and almost exotic edge. Upon uncorking, a burst of pastrami-like meatiness emerges, layered with hints of sauerkraut-like volatility and Middle Eastern spices. Swirling reveals dark, earthy tones of ironstone, carbon black, and soot, which settle into familiar ‘Coonawarra red dirt’ nuances. As it rests, vibrant aromas of summer pudding and a medley of blueberry and blackberry rise. On the palate, the wine is both regal and energetic, echoing the nose with youthful vibrancy. Chewy tannins intertwine with oak, acidity, and extract to create a velvety, substantial mouthfeel, enhanced by its maturation in 100% one-year-old oak. A bountiful mid-palate and seamless integration of flavours hint at exceptional aging potential. It's a wine that sits intriguingly between Cabernet and Shiraz—an elevated expression of Coonawarra that rewards patience and time.
