Community Tasting Note

  April 9, 2023 - Cork, 14% alc. Signed by Penfolds winemaker, Peter Taylor. Auction purchase in the early 2000s.
  
  Medium garnet/ pale ruby. Some bricking.
  Level into neck. Cork damp all through, and completely disintegrated upon opening with an Ah-So. minimal ullage.
  
  Sweet, damp earth, cherry, blueberry, leather, licorice, light soy sauce. Hewn oak.
  
  Tannins largely resolved, slightly grainy. Savoury and dusty palate with dried sour edged fruit. Acidic line. Losing some fruit, and likely over the crest, but still life left. A bottle by bottle proposition at this age.
