The cabernet, merlot and petit verdot fruit for the FWT (French Winemaking Trial) was sourced from premium vineyards across the Medoc, then, given the famous Penfolds treatment. Dan Murphy panel members commented on the savoury, dried herb influence, cranberry, red currant, purple plum and dusty cherry flavours, nutmeg, roast chestnut and mocha and the finale of cedary, firm, drying tannins. "So many things to see - a different wine with each sip". A wine to enjoy over the next ten years.
