Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, June 7, 2023 - NobleRottersSydney - mostly Penfolds (Fix, St James, Sydney): {cork, 14%} [Stephen] Big, soft old leathery fruit. But a bit restrained, dignified, with dust, earth, plum. Proper wine. Fruit-driven palate, in the best sense, not too extracted or over-ripe. Mostly blackberry type flavours, the seasoning oak acts more as texture than flavour, with low/medium dusty tannins, medium acid and overall a medium/full weight. Long finish. Adds up to more than the sum of its parts. Perfect example of a great Penfolds shiraz – it’s head and shoulders above the RWT, for instance. Double-decanted just before service, I think.
