Raspberry aromas and a rubbery note. Very raspberry on the palate. Oak influence is restrained, particularly for a Penfolds red (apart from St Henri) although it is 10 years old, very integrated and nearing the end of its drinking window. Once again the Grenache aromas and influence on the palate dominate in this GSM Blend. Easy to drink.

Nov 26th, 2019Mid Ruby. Noticeable raspberry aromas with plum and spice. Lovely palate of raspberry with supple fine tannins. When you are an Aussie based wine lover for over 40 years you end up with a large collection of Penfolds Reds from their vast range and often you have a pre-determined idea of what you are going to get like ripe fruit and mocha oak all expertly handled and destined for the Cellar but this wine is different being a GSM more European in style, softer and more savoury. This is at its peak but will last a few more years. Very moreish.
