Producer Tasting Notes

Penfolds: “Medium-crimson brick red. Perfumed fresh and earthy sous bois aromas with blackberry and cedar notes. Supple wine with aged earthy tobacco, sous bois and dried leaf flavours, blackberry and cedar notes, fine slinky dry textures and inky long finish. Fruit beginning to dry out. A fully developed wine in a pleasurable old Claret style.”
