Gourmet Traveller Wine 96 points!
"This is very stylish and understated relative to Penfolds' usual style. Ripe cherry, red fruits, spice and subtle mint aromas; deep in the mouth and tremendously elegant, displaying "

"Maybe it doesn't have the concentration of the big years but there's more than enough flavour here, and it makes up for it structurally. Of the French oak this year's release was matured in, 71 per cent of it was new. It tastes of a coffeed spiciness, plums and kirsch. The fruit flavours make it all the way from the start to the last of the aftertaste " the oak plays a supporting but not dominating role. Tannin structure provides a grainy pull through the wine. It needs time to soften but the quality is excellent. Value is another matter."

"The 2007 RWT Shiraz is 100% Barossa Valley Shiraz matured 13 months in French hogsheads, 71% new. Very deep garnet-purple colored, it presents youthfully mute aromas of warm blackberries, stewed plums, kirsch, cedar and cloves with an array of Indian spices opening out with air. In the full-bodied mouth it gives very firm, coarsely grained tannins, very crisp acid and good concentration, finishing long and chewy. It should be more open and approachable after a year or two in bottle, drinking to 2022+."
