Poor vintage BUT no Garamond or Hommage released so all the quality grapes into this wine. Very pale color but the bouquet displayed loads of fruit and spice. Delightful Pinot qualities on the palate with bright acidity and sappy tannin. Lovely! — 6 days ago

Classic Penfolds Kalimna. Aged beautifully, chocolate and dark spices. Brick red tinged with brown, decanted and drunk over 4 hours. Can’t fault Penfolds for age worthy wines, really enjoyed it — a month ago

Number 3 bottle from a six pack bought 14 years ago. One of my go to cellaring bargains. Simply gorgeous, in its prime with so much richness and spice with a velvety background on the nose. Loved it! — 4 months ago

In pretty good shape at 22years old, just a tinge of brown to the color. Soft dry dusty tannin underpins the palate with plenty of fruit still evident. Very pleasant on a Saturday night slowly sipped over 4 hours. — 19 days ago

Classic Penfolds. 22 years old but still fresh and ruby red. Cabernet shining on the front palate with unctuous chewy tannins at the back fleshed out by spice and chocolate from the Shiraz. So enjoying it! — a month ago

Spectacular! A cornucopia of spices and stewed fruits, layers and layers of flavor on the background of typical Yarra Yering volatility and balanced acidity. — 3 months ago

One of my favorite Australian Shirazes. Still young and vibrant at 16 years old. Layers and layers of spice bombard your palate with steely acidity making it a perfect match for the tapas COVID delivery dinner from Movida. Simply awesome, I could drink this wine everybday and be a very happy man. — 21 days ago

Rescued from the bottom of the cellar. I had forgotten it and expectations were low. What a nice surprise, still brick red and alive although showing abundant tertiary characters. A bit awkward but rich and unctuous and very enjoyable. — 4 months ago
