Celebrating my Birthday last night with Roast Lamb. This was a deep crimson in colour - very dark for its age. Aromatics of blackberry, plum, mulberry and mocha. The palate is very Penfolds - black fruits, mocha and chocolate. Opulence and concentration are the key words. Never ponderous or over bearing. Palate staining intensity yet medium to full bodied weight. Great palate length and persistence finishing with supple seamless tannins. At least another 20 years in the drinking window - Penfolds say through to 2055!! Overall - one of the world’s great red wines in a superb vintage. — 16 days ago

98% shiraz, 2% cab. Ruby in color, with a unique nose. Flavors of dark fruit, black currant, spices, and oak. Bold and well balanced with a little extra dryness, which I loved. Simply fabulous and impossible to fully describe. One of my top wines. — a month ago

You've all had this before. It's Penfold's budget offering, and it's the secret weapon in my braised short rib. Cue Julia Childs, "A splash for the short rib, a half bottle for me..." Holy man, this leaves you feeling like you ate a pack of Sour Patch Kids. Puckering. Super sour blackberries, herbs, and some cedar tannins. Long finish.

Incredible wine! Deep purple color- almost inky. Aroma of blackberries, cassis, vanilla and violets. Black fruit on the palate, plum, baking spices with a lovely finish.

Rich, sweet oak, intense dark fruits, also shows some heat (14.5%), this is a serious Aussie Shiraz that screams for at least another decade of aging (as @Bob McDonald has said previously), drinking this tonight feels like robbing the cradle??!! — a month ago

Dark ruby color. Called the “Baby Grange” for a reason. Wonderful nose with aromas of dark fruit and spice. Dry and bold with medium+ tannins. Flavors of black fruit, mocha, toasty notes, and oak. Balanced acid with a wonderful finish. Great wine for the price. — a month ago
