Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet Sauvignon

About this product

Product description

Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet Sauvignon

The best Cabernet from Penfolds for any given year. Intense and concentrated that will always benefit from cellaring for a number of years. A complex array of cassis, blueberry and violets over toasty savoury oak. Rhubarb and elderberry with grippy full tannins.

Taste profile

Full Bodied

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.

Dry

Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Dense almost opaque colour. Concentrated blueberry nose; dried-banana oak, vanilla and toasty char oak, fleshy and powerful. Hard to assess: very concentrated and closed; oak shows prominently. Tannins are pervasive and grippy, but good quality tannins. Needs a lot of time. Best in 5 to 30 years.

Clear red-purple; the fragrant bouquet proclaims its class from the first whiff; the web of blackcurrant, cassis and mulberry fruit is complexed further by American oak, a match that only Penfolds can carry off.
