Deeply coloured, and with layers of rich and succulent flavours, an attractive violet nose, a smothering of dark fruit and black plum compote, a pot-pourri of dried flowers and scents of vanilla and mocha mark this as yet another brilliant chapter in the story of RWT. A wine of layers, density and immense charm, careful French oak maturation adds elegance and sophistication to this top Australian shiraz. Gentle cellaring will see improvement for 20 years.

Deep colour. Beautiful blackberry, blackcurrant, dark chocolate, roasted chestnut, hint marzipan. Lovely plush concentrated wine with smooth blackberry, dark plum fruits, fine loose knit slinky/ graphite tannins, underlying roasted chestnut oak and fresh mineral acidity. Finishes velvety firm with some mocha notes. Very good density, fruit richness and vigour. The Penfolds winemaking stamp nicely balanced with the opulence and beauty of ripe Barossa shiraz. 16 months in French oak (49% new, 51% one-year-old) oak hogsheads. Drink 2024 – 2045 14.5% 96 points.
