Medium deep colour. Lovely fragrant claret style wine with exuberant fresh red cherry redcurrant, mulberry cassis aromas and roasted walnut complexity. Well concentrated and generous with inky cassis mulberry fruits, smooth velvety tannins, attractive viscosity and richness on the mid-palate and fine integrated acidity. Finishes powdery firm with superb mineral length. A hugely evocative wine; true to the original blueprint, spirit of style and the classic Penfolds multi-regional template. Delicious to drink now but should age beautifully. 14.5% Now-2040

Includes 5% cabernet sauvignon, matured for 12 months in 50+yo large oak vats. The dark, deep colour alerts you to the vintage. This is a wine for future generations to enjoy. It is stacked with extract of black fruits and tannins, its elevage at work.
