This finely structured offering displays genuine Borderlaise characteristics, albeit with a Penfolds twist. Freshly picked blood plums, black currant and pencil shavings accompany a claret-like firmness of tannins, sage and mint notes, and earthy complexity. Whilst showing restraint now, the wine has all of the ammunition required for a bright future.

Medium crimson. Pure blackcurrant, praline, mocha aromas with hints of marzipan and spice. Generous and inky deep with ample cassis, dark plum, dark chocolate flavours, fine grainy, touch al dente/ chewy tannins and underlying cedar, spice notes. Builds up claret firm at the finish with a tannin plume. Compact and dense with lovely volume, richness and vigour. Should unravel with a few years of bottle age. Keep for a while – 2040
