  Shiraz avec une bonne profondeur, meilleur après ouverture sur quelques heures. Plein de bouche, belle retenu. Minéralité bien marquée. Rafiiné.

  A dark and brooding purple, this wine shows you what you are going to get before passing your lips. Full of pepper, rich plum and licorice, the red fruit is well complemented by a subtle splash of oak. The acidity is in balance with the tannins but one cant help but wonder if the finish could possibly last a little longer given the heavy front end? The pepper gives way slightly sooner than I would have hoped but all in all, a well structured offering from penfolds. Decanted for an hour before approaching.

  I would agree with other notes. Well made and enjoyable but not distinctive.

  Deep dark red colour. Pepper/spice at the beginning and gives way to leather and earth flavours. Plum and blackberry at the end. Would not say that this is bold up front but the flavours do round out and fill the mouth. Some green and red pepper flavours as well. Drinking well.

  Djupt mörkt röd
  
  Doftar kraftfullt kryddigt körsbärigt köttigt blått - för den som kan tänka sig doften av lilablått.
  
  Smakar djup och innerlig. Kryddig fyllig, strävt torrt  trä, förska körsbär i kubik.
  
  Otroligt bra vin som behöver många timmar för att öppna upp. För att vara en dålig årgång är den närmast fantastisk!.
  
  Du kan öppna, lufta länge (gärna ett dygn med 80% kvar och kork i svalt - den är perfekt dag två) och dricka idag. Eller spara den. Fem år plus
  
  Idag får den 92++
