Penfolds
Bin 60A Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz
Coonawarra, Limestone Coast, South Australia, Australia
#AgedWineTuesday
Dark purple in color with a purplish rim.
Gorgeous nose of black currants, cooked plums, figs, dried fruits, cedar, light vanilla, turmeric, fennel, chocolates, tobacco, licorice, peppercorn, coffee, herbs and Mediterranean spices.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity, elegant and smooth.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, tobacco leaf, earth and dark coffee.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy pomegranates.
This 18 year old Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Australia is drinking so nicely now. Fruit forward and concentrated.
Showing great complexity, especially on the nose. Spicy and interesting. Rich, yet elegant.
I did not decant it, but left it in the bottle to open up. Delicious right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime.
Loved the nose here, and kept smelling on it for a while.
Wine enthusiast 96 points. Robert Parker 99 points.
Thank you John for sharing this with me.
Nicely balanced and good by itself as a sipping wine.
A blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon and 44% shiraz. Aged for 13 months in new American Oak barrels. Bottled in April 2008.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
94 points.
$650.

Amazing experience to drink one of Penfolds best ever wines. Bright sparkling garnet in colour. Cedar and red fruit on the nose, with the cigar box of Cabernet. Palate has plenty of power and 20 years to develop.
