"Bring in the barrels. It’s a beautifully integrated, svelte, bold, satisfying red wine with smoky vanillin characters sitting front and centre both on the nose and in the mouth. This is fresh and modern on the one hand but it’s also an old school fruit-and-oak shake on the other. A lot of people are going to love this release and in the right mood, in the right temperature, with evening having just come on at the end of a long winter’s walk, I’d be with them. Kalimna Shiraz is Penfolds’ McDreamy. In a creamy, soft, rich style, this is very well delivered." - Wine Front
