PenfoldsMagill Estate Shiraz 2012
About this product
Medium-bodied. Complete dimensionally – weight and length, grip and attack. Wild raspberry, stewed rhubarb and red nectarine fruits laced with sarsaparilla and malt. Oak stands apart, an added and enhanced feature (cleaved, compartmentalised), punctuated by raspy tannins. Needs air.
At first more European in gait, possessive of an Old World charm – yet tell-tale Penfolds barrel ferment formics soon arise. Nevertheless, Chesterfield leather, pipe tobacco and cigar, classy pencil shavings oak (French?)... mahogany aromatics continue to conspire. Brown sugar, clove, star anise, cardamom notes arise, unconcerned of parentage.
