PENFOLDS

Tasting Notes

Colour: Crimson with a glossy and bright lustre.

Nose: An instant ascent of fruits … lifted raspberry fruit jube/fruit pastille.
Moroccan spices and vanilla pod shroud meaty/crackling elements … very Penfolds, very Koonunga Hill!
A skerrick of cedar oak /pencil shavings; a reminder of the wine’s age at this point –undoubtedly soon to be absorbed & concealed.

Palate: Balanced and complete. Spicy and fruit-driven, however, this time it is blackberry not raspberry jubeson palate.
Non-obtrusive, yet just recognizable oak detected on finish.
Softened tannins and ‘just-right’ acidity invoke textural allure.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Magenta brightness.

Nose: An immediate aromatic lift of equal parts fruit and spice.
Sumac, blackberry, black bean sauce and plum.
Blue fruited generosity and a violet allure which is only just detectable.

Palate: Playing within Penfolds boundaries yet still abiding by Koonunga Hill rules, approachable, vibrant and energetic.
Graphite core, beetroot juice and macadamia complexity. Grainy tannins, Nori savoury character and brine.
A vintage that does not discriminate when offering generosity.

Colour

Vibrant plum.

Nose

Red mulberry and raspberry coulis are immediately observed. 

Blueberry, bramble and earthy elements are offered with a little more encouragement. 

Sweet paprika, possibly provided by supportive oak, overlays shiraz vibrancy and generosity.

Palate

A steely and slatey texture surprises on the palate, being mentioned before fruit generosity. 

Tannins are sleek and supple and oak lies beneath spice and berries, almost providing the foundations for them to be layered on top of. 

A hallmark that seems to be emerging from the 2017 vintage … crunchy acidity that provides succulence.

Lively and fresh red-berried fruits leap out of glass... and then, scents of pomegranate and rhubarb. An ascent of olive nuances no doubt Cabernet derived? Ditto, tomato leaf. Until swamped by a wave of Shiraz spice and fruit. Subtle, supportive oak registers.

A balanced, rich and full palate. The olive aromatics noted above transpose and merge effortlessly into the palate’s flavor pool. Grainy, softened tannins and bright acidity induce immediate appeal and drinkability - Wine.com

This attractive Merlot displays varietal aromas of cassis and liquorice. The palate is fleshy and mouth filling with flavours of plum, sweet spice and creamy vanillin oak. - Dan Murphy
