About this product
Tasting Evaluation
Colour: Dark purple verging on black, with solid core with a violet rim.
Aroma: Intense aromatics of black pepper, black currant and cassis layered with Chinese five-spice, toffee, clove and black olive. Subtle wafts of freshly sharpened grey lead pencil.
Palate: Saturated blueberry and blackberry flavours wash the surfaces of the mouth. Vibrant Coonawarra Cabernet acidity gives focus and tension, with dusty fruit/oak tannins giving further texture. A wine that will build over the next decade.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Vintage 2017
95 points Australian Wine Companion
Pays homage to Australia's greatest red wine, 1962 Penfolds Bin A. This is a 57.5/42.5% blend, with 77% new French and American oak. While there's a lot of oak, it has the drive, energy and length of the '17 vintage that will carry it forward for years, during which time the oak will settle down. Drink to 2037
