Community Tasting Note

Sunday, December 12, 2021 - It’s been a long time since Penfolds hasn’t traded on its name, however this is a great example of why they have the name they do!

Well integrated tannins, generous refined fruit (med) and a length that is not found in wines at its original purchase price point (noting I bought it many years ago for $25 and current pricing is $50!!).

The years in the cellar were well worth it and it temps me to open some of the other Penfolds bottles (Bin 28, 128, 407, St Henri, 389 and Grange).. that being said this was drinking at its peak and I only see risk (and no upside) from keeping it any longer.

Today this would be good value at $35. At $50, you aren’t being ripped off, but it isn’t a bargain and there are other more compelling options!
