This was the wine of the Penfold's tasting. It's softer and elegant over the palate and reveals layers and layers of black & blue fruits, expresso, soft minerals, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and on and on. Even better in 5 years and beyond. The Mamba decanter. Just $750 Australian. Looking for to the full tour and vintage tasting at Penfolds Magill back near Adelaide.

An excellent wine -- chocolate, dark cherry on the nose, certainly black fruited rather than red. Brambly texture on the palate and a beautiful long finish. The perfect wine to have opened on Christmas Eve!

Our contribution for the night. Chad visited the vineyard in Australia and thought this was one of their upper end wines (aside from the Grange.) full bodied but quite refined. A nice change from all the napa cabs we've had tonight. funky taste on the finish or I would have rated higher.

Powerful, nice creamy texture, good roundness and structure. Soft discreet fruits with peppery tingling finish

Seriously impressive (relatively) new Shiraz from Penfold's...deep, dark and intense.
