  Dark unforgiving leather, eucalypt with a vegetal nose. Raspberry peaking through.
  
  Mint, blackcurrant, vanilla, barely there tannins and some white pepper to finish. The palate is soft, plush, yet there is a hardness to it, not much room to evolve beyond this stage. Drink now.

  Concentrated and meaty with dark plum, blackberry, leather and black pepper notes. Medium purple in color, full bodied and well integrated tannins complement this nice affordable offering from Penfolds. NI:3, FI:23, FC:8, B:3, L:4

  A somewhat bigger expression of Coonawarra shiraz. Good with strong, full flavoured meat dishes. Excellent tannin grip and full plum, mint and chocolate notes. I still prefer the lighter earlier picked examples made by the Redmans and Wynns of the earlier years.

  Nicely understated nose with a a whiff of violets. The palate is cool and redolent of spicy plum and blackberry flavours. The finish is a little short but overall this is a good shiraz showing excellent oak treatment. The wine is in its drinking window.

  Excellent Aussie Shiraz, compact body, cool style, smooth tannins and decent acidity, rich blackberry flavour.
  At its peak, so no need to wait, it wount't be better.
