Shared at a specialist Penfolds wine tasting event at Your Shout Liquor in Perth in April 2024. Good color and fruity bouquet. Still maturing with good tannins, semi-balanced fruit coming through on the palate along with soft oak. Still a biggish wine which will improve a lot as it matures over next 10 years. Wine was positioned well with both local Penfolds Shiraz's and Californian wines and was one of the top wines of the night. The current bins 407 and 600 were amongst the top wines at the tasting.

Good brick red color and soft bouquet. Drinking very well for its age. Good fruit still coming through with long palate and good tannins. One of the top two red wines at our wine groups tasting last night. Needs at least 2 hours of airing / decanting before optimum drinking.
