Deep colour. Lovely dark chocolate, blackberry, mulberry aromas with light cinnamon, vanilla, roasted chestnut notes. Generous, saturated and inky with lovely deep-set blackberry, mulberry fruits, cinnamon ginger oak complexity, fine loose knit ripe lacy textures, some meaty notes and integrated long acidity. Finishes grainy firm with plenty of blackberry ginger liquorice notes. A classical Barossa Shiraz with superb density, fruit definition and balanced oak. A reference vintage. Superb unforced wine showing all the hallmarks of the Penfolds house style and regional definition. My top pick of the 2019 collection. 14.5% alc. 2024-2032

Pure western Barossa fruit produced from rich red dirt provides endearing Barossa taste sensations of juicy, succulent black fruit, cured meats, aniseed lolly and savoury hints - classically and richly satisfying. Superb regional quality.
