[SOLD-OUT] Penfolds Magill Shiraz 2001

A season similar to McLaren Vale, just to the south, however, the crop ripened early and came in excellent condition before the March rain. Fruit was hand picked between February 12th and 15th, the earliest Magill Estate vintage on record. The fruit again benefited from the 'hands-on', open-fermented, basket pressed approach, literally metres from the vineyard. Maturation period of 14 months in new French (73%) and American (27%) oak. At once both savoury and spicy. Nutmeg and plummy/dark cherried fruitcake aromas oscillate alongside notes of rum and raisin dark chocolate. Cedary French oak helps preserve the varietal and regional aromatic integrity of this single estate shiraz. A medium weight palate, with mulberry and wild raspberry fruits, tightly contained by satiny tannins that literally coat the whole mouth. Charming, balanced, and long lingering flavours, are courted by malty oak and ideal acidity. In the mould of the 1996 release. Alc/Vol: 14.0%. Notes sourced from Penfolds.
