Community Tasting Note

Monday, February 6, 2017 - NobleRottersSydney - Penfolds prior to 2007 (360 Bar & Dining, Sydney): {cork, 14.5%} (Graeme) Double-decanted 3 hours prior. Rich plums and blackberries. Ripe but not too raisiny. Plummy, spicy-flavoured palate, rounded texture, but still with medium chalky fine tannins. Quite sophisticated overall, good weight across the mid-palate, with a medium finish. It’s moved a little off primary, and some of the freshness has gone; it hasn’t bloomed into tertiary glory yet. But it seems it has the stuffing to improve over the next decade or so.
