  April 18, 2015 - Barossa Vintage Festival 2015.
  
  Penfolds Magill Estate Restaurant.
  78 Penfold Road
  Rosslyn Park, South Australia, 5072, Australia.
  
  Double decanted by our sommelier Patrick.
  
  94% Shiraz 6% Cabernet. 14% alcohol.
  
  Black opaque heart, dark garnet rim, showing less age than expected. Well cellared and youthful.
  Heady nose of cassis fruit, blackberry spice, caramel mocha undertones, new leather.
  Silky mouthfeel, bold fruit flavour without the heaviness of lessor marques. Chocolate, vanilla, balanced and delicious.
  
  Two hours open, blood plum, blackberry, expresso, chocolatey tannins mid palate, mild acidity freshens through the long stalky tannin, blueberry finish. Plush fruit and black pepper spice to the last drop!
