Fabulous. Bought 6-plus on release. Can't recall the price (~$75/bottle?), and now ~$895/bottle. The cork w as amazing. Not only barely any 'seepage', but solid as a rock on removal. The bottle number was 116476. Multiplying the bottle number by $895 = $104,246,020. That's $104MM. And who knows how many more bottles were produced? Penfolds at its best? Let's see it goes as a Luxury Goods Company?

Pepper and spice and all things nice! Musk sticks too. A deep tobacco-red hue. As the back label says, 'a quintessential Canberra shiraz, sourced with fruit from selected sites in Murrumbateman and Hall'. Perhaps polarising for those new to cool Canberra-shiraz. Would love to try it in 5, 10 and 15 years time.

A cool season that has played out well. Pepper and spice that mellowed delightfully into the second day. Should happily evolve over 3-5 more years.
