Producer tasting notes: "COLOUR Deep brick red. NOSE The nose shows cooler-climate spices coupled with florals, black liquorice and pepper. French oak notes are just discernable, providing a cedar/ charcoal-carbon backdrop against small-berried fruits. PALATE The refined and compact 2003 Bin 128 sits comfortably and confidently in the mouth with an appealing texture and softened tannins. Berried fruits, stylish oak and lively acidity add to the palate appeal." - Penfolds

- Vintage Notes
-
Coonawarra received rainfall at the right time during the growing season and also benefited from moderate temperatures. Each rainfall invigorated the vines and maintained canopy health. Mild temperatures throughout February and March allowed the fruit to develop desirable flavours whilst retaining acid before warmer temperatures in April culminated in a successful vintage.
