11 years old. Deep dark colour. Juicy black fruit with bright acid. Very Penfolds in the fruit and texture profiles. The polished oak and boot polish notes are typical. Super smooth but not particularly complex.

Deep Dark Ruby Red. Nose - Fruits, Cherries, spice, pepper, leather. Palate - silky smooth with leathery notes popping out a bit more, slight tobacco, expresso. Finish - Long with some mint? Still drinking beautifully and my last bottle of 2 that I got... great for the price and would definitely buy more if still available. Cracked this open because community rating stated drink by 2018! Definitely could have gone a few more years!

Deep dark tawny cherry red, clear 3/3. No obvious legs despite 14.5% Lovely fruity nose, inviting, Christmas cake, spice and raisins, cinnamon, pimento, plums, luscious 7/7 Rich, mouthfilling fruit, nicely balanced soft furry tannin, The alcohol is not obvious. Slight pip bitterness, warm finish, medium bodied. Spicy fruit lingers. I like it. 8 or 9 /10

Really dark, almost black. Taste of some old vines, very good value for the price paid. No problems for at least another 5 years or more.
