  Even young, this wine is strutting. Excellent balance - fruit not veering into the black/stewed/cooked flavours you can get from some Barossa. Tannins still there to carry this but not dominant. The only disappointment here is Penfolds' decision to ramp up their pricing in recent years. This bottle is now around 3x what it used to be 15 years ago in my marker (British Columbia, Canada). Will limit how much of this fine wine I can enjoy, to be sure.

  Complex with mint and blue fruits and great multilayered taste. first mint and floral tones, then blackberries and light oak in the end. A stunner

  醒酒器三个多小时，色深紫红，闻香奶油，青椒，胡椒和黑李子香气，甜美风，入口酸度中等，单宁紧致，糊一嘴，颗粒细腻如粉，酒液甜美有粘稠感，成熟黑果，青椒，后段辛辣混合着泥土气息，余味是奶油、烤面包和新鲜果香。尽管你可以瞧不起奔富看不上色拉子，但是你也不得不承认这是一款年轻漂亮的酒，得益于充分的醒酒，状态完全打开，香气浓郁，酒体饱满，让人喝了心情愉悦。
