This is one of the best $10.00 bottles I've ever purchased. Still has a ton of dark black fruit going on, firm but velvety tannins lending backbone, and a really luscious mouthfeel. Will easily drink nicely for another three years.

This is suprisingly good - a budget wine(£6) from a mediocre year - but wow this is a really good example of a mature shiraz/cab. Lovely warm and rounded mouth feel, soft and gently spicy tannin, and still some red fruits. Kudos to Peter Gago and Penfolds!

very rich in color and taste very cheap for the price. i'd buy as much as I could get at the average price paid .. This must be a mistake.

Dark ruby. Medium to full bodied. Red and black fruit. An extremely good value.
