'The numbers have it: in its 70th anniversary year, this is only the 7th grange to proclaim 100% Shiraz - 1951, 1952, 1963, 1999, 2000, 2011 and now 2017. A 10% Shiraz hit-rate
- Peter Gago, Penfolds Chief Winemaker
Grape Varietals: 100% Shiraz
Wine Region: South Australia, Australia
Tasting Notes: Reveals venison carpaccio with a sweet balsamic reduction and olive oil. Wafts of sticky rice pudding, apricot pip, vanillin pod and coconut husk.
Spiced sandalwood, ground cumin and wintergreen notes remind of an eighteen-month sabbatical in oak. The palate displays flavors of licorice, soy and malt, burnt vanilla marshmallow, dark chocolate as well as supple oak nuances. Creamy/velvety, tannins are tight with a ‘rusty’ edge. Ebullient acidity, whilst lively and racy, is well-managed. Drink in 2030.
