As good as the one we had a year ago, clearly benefits from cellaring, must buy more Penfolds for medium term cellaring - excellent money value (at 10 Euros).

This one has developed nicely and gives much more value after three years in the cellar. Dark berries and bramble berries on the nose, settled, smooth and a lot of bramble berries in the mouth with layers of liqouirice and mint. Very nice at about 12$ when bought. Simply pleasure :-)

Note: I use a scale on which 85 represents a very good wine.
Great bottle. Dug it out of the cellar. 16 years later. Perfect balance, rich, no edges, plenty of fruit.
Only this one.

Very dark color with a tint of brown-red. Spicy, peppery flavor to go with a rich smell of plums, blackberries. Lots of acidity and some tannins.

Taste: Leather, berries, well rounded between fruit and tannins
