Decanted for an hour. Nose is stewed blackberry with distinct eucalyptus. Touch of vanilla and burnt sugar. Nearly syrupy. Palate is darker than expected from the nose. Rounded dark fruit. Nothing particularly expressive. What do you expect it's a sub$20 bottle. Acidity saves here compared to others at the price point. Tannins a bit forward at this point. Wonder what this mellows out to in 3 years. For now? Great third bottle option for the parties.

Very approachable on the nose and palate. Dark berry, slight off mint aroma, full in the mouth and cleansing on the finish. A nice representation of cab sauv in this price range.

Business luncheon at the St. Regis Singapore. Wine was supplied by Penfolds. Simple but highly drinkable - kept going back to my glass. Fresh blackcurrant, not much eucalyptus, sweet but not cloying, medium to full-bodied with a short finish. Given that it presented this well I wonder if the bottles were opened some time before serving.

Ok. Nothing really special here, but decent for the price.

Sour cherries, complemented by sour cherries. You notice the high alcohol content very quickly. Pleasant, drinkable but unexceptional.

Not a BIG wine, decent if you don't pay too much. Wouldn't buy again.
