Community Tasting Note

Monday, February 6, 2006 - NobleRottersSydney - Old Penfolds night (Guillaume at Bennelong): {cork, 13.5%} A distinct shift in style here [from the Bin 389s]. The colour is a distinctly lighter shade, although the restaurant light is now dim enough that colour judgments are useless. The nose is of elegant cherry notes, lightly spiced, with a hint of lifted volatility. The palate is quite spicy and acidic. The moderate weight sits mostly on the middle palate, with a moderate length finish. There’s no real lack of ripeness in this tricky vintage, but it falls short of being a truly memorable wine.
