Full red-purple; dense, dark berry, dark chocolate, and savoury/spicy aromas are a backdrop for a palate full of cassis, blackberry and chocolate supported by a great depth of ripe tannins. Needs a decade to really start strutting its stuff, but will undoubtedly do so.

Deep, youthful, bright colour. An explosive bouquet of mocha, dark fruits, toasty oak, smoked-oysters and raisin bread. Chocolate and espresso coffee. A typical Penfolds red but of a very high order, and this bottle is in immaculate condition. At 23 years it looks to have at least another 10 to 15 years in it. A remarkable, outstanding wine.
