May 15, 2001 - Penfolds Tasting with the Wine Society (Old Trafford): Slightly duller colour than the Koonunga Hill Chardonnay and tinged with green. Bizarre nose - very toasted and with a definite toffee streak. Lots of character and showing a surprising amount of finesse. Very toasty, rich and rounded in the mouth. I found this very interesting, but suspected that there was probably something a bit wrong with it. A taste from another bottle later in the evening did not have the same dominant toffee scents - or rather much less marked, though I think I could still find them. This second bottle was much fresher, and undoubtedly a very notable wine given a bit of time.
