Firm tannins, a distinct cedar note and a swirl of red and black fruit with a dried woody herb edge give this blend a French twist. Somewhat granular at present, the tannins need to settle and harmonize with the underlying fruit. 5 years in the cellar will help.

Medium deep crimson. Fresh and evolving dark plum, black cherry, roasted chestnut, sesame aromas with cedar and spice notes. Well concentrated dark plum, cedar wood flavours, fine chocolatey touch grippy textures, attractive mid plate density and fresh well integrated acidity. Finishes cedary firm. Vigorous and elemental needing some time to mesh. But a very good synergy of Penfolds style versus the regional fine- grained nature of Medoc claret. Drink now – 2040
