Penfolds Online tasting: Very inky in colour. A little more giving on the nose than the St Henri. On the palate it explodes with fruit, riot of blackcurrants, dark plum and dark cherries. Tannic edge but the fruit shines over it even now. It is very dry, so for sure will benefit from aging. Quite delicious even though it is obviously young.
