Very tannin forward with notes of black currant, leather, sassafras and a bitterness maybe from a dark chocolate or espresso.

Really nice wine - slightly acidic but softening over time. I taste red berries like cherry and there’s some vanilla and oak bites that get stronger as it airs

Feb 19th, 2021I have a special love for penfolds! This has so much aging potential , definitely will buy another bottle and save it for the next five years to drink
Dark red !! fine and well balanced tannins. Cranberry, plums, peppery, with a long earthy taste at the end
Plus the bottle design was cool!
