I know Penfold’s and other iconic wineries in Australia are considered possibly better. And there are many good ones. But Elderton still is my go to. 16 years and drinking beautifully

The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, cinnamon and clove. The body is medium/full. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
