Beautiful in color. Decanted about two hours and consumed over the next 5. Nose of a fruit tart with some earthiness or moss. Palate is black up front and transitions into blueberry and even some red raspberry. Allspice and cloves in the background. Chalky tannins reveal themselves with a long finish. Decades to go I think.

Superbe Shiraz, nez plus discret, notes de fruits rouges canneberges et framboises, en bouche belle balance de fruits et tannins arrondis par la présence de chêne français, framboises, mûres et canneberges. Très agréable, potentiel de vieillissement de 25 ans. Dégusté sur place à Penfolds La Grange, $160/bouteille.

Very interesting Shiraz. Much less „in your face berries“. Smell of subtle berries and fruits. Tastes of berries, but much more subtle and complex than 28. also nuanced by earthy and mineral Flavors. Slight note of chocolate at the end. A very nice Shiraz.

Great wine! Blue berries, earthy. Long finish. 3 hours decant och then drank over many hours. I think this will get even better. But 93 for now.

Tasted in parallel to a BIN 28.
