October 10, 2011 - Not sure when I drank this. That said, the 2001 vintage of this bottling is what captured my imagination and began my journey into wine. Either that was a spectacular year or my tastes have changed. Not as impressed as I was when I was younger. Either way, TY Penfolds for opening me up to the world of wine...[?% abv.; $7.50].

October 4, 2011 - Sweet ripe plums and tart red cherries with some black pepper and oak. Medium body and very soft & fruit forward. Paired reasonably well with a Scicilian pizza. Simple, tasty, and unremarkable.

September 9, 2011 - Dark ruby. Has a sweet nose of ripe dark plums, berry fruit, vanilla, chocolate, hints of mint and coffee. Medium-bodied, very soft and fruit-forward with good balance and a somewhat short aftertaste. Nice red for everyday drinking, preferably slightly chilled. Good qpr, but i would deffinitely spend the extra 4-5 Euros and go for the Koonunga Hill.
