Deep Crimson. Beautiful wine with lifted blackcurrant, mulberry, dark chocolate mocha aromas and herb garden / chinotto notes. Inky textured and richly concentrated wine with deep set cassis, black berry fruits, hints of chinotto, plentiful fine-grained / vigorous tannins, attractive mid-palate viscosity and superb intergrated mocha malt oak notes. Finishes firm and minerally with a lovely fine chocolaty plume. Harks back to the experimental age. Aged for 22 months in 100% Australian-coopered American oak hogsheads. Lovely classic Penfolds wine.
