Jeremy Oliver Rating 95!
"This is a unique aromatic expression of the Barossa Valley - perfumed fruit with violet-like florals, dried mixed fruit and exotic spices. Berry fruit nuances rise above cedary French oak...
This has the hallmarks of a great Penfolds red wine - superb structure, excellent oak integration, great palate weight and rich fruit. The sweet, rich and generous dark berried Shiraz flavours make a strong, clear statement. Pronounced savoury, cold roasted meat flavours combine with stylish, integrated oak and velvety tannins to promote a long, persistent finish."
John Duval - Winemaker
"It's no wonder that the son of Grange should receive accolades when you see what the master craftsmen at Penfolds can achieve. The balance is unrivalled and the full complex flavours will live for many years."
