Penfolds 2014 release tasting. Dark magenta red, intense nose of chocolate and plum but not hugely complex. Matching palate, surprisingly approachable and balanced now. No doubt it will live long but a great drink now. Wine of the tasting but not a show stopper and no St Henri 2010 to compare to. Not as memorable as the 2006 and 2008 Granges from last year and definitely not worth $785.
