Penfolds Tasting with the Wine Society (Old Trafford): A deep, rather luscious gold. Fantastic nose - complex and fragrant with distinct melon notes together with some of the lees clearly coming through. The deep and rounded nose would lead me to expect a wine with more age. Very rich attack. Very rounded and buttery (perhaps a bit fat?). Develops well and finishes with an interesting pepperiness and nice clean acidity
