Community Tasting Note

Rote Kappelle Likes this wine:

Friday, December 25, 2020 - In many ways this is my favourite Penfolds wine, partly because it has less oak than the rest of their reds (although I also like them, if in the mood). A dark, inky, brick-red that speaks of the power to come. On the nose, earth, dark plum, blackberry, high toned polished leather (sniff the boot!). This follows through on a dense, chewy palate that goes on forever. There is great intensity, yet it is mellow and is almost essence of Barossa Valley. Tannins are fully resolved and this wine is to be drunk now, preferably in very large volumes. I see no point in further cellaring, unless your bottles are under screw cap. Drink with people you like and women you want to seduce (the two are sometimes the same).
