  • Tasting note ; Glossy. Deep red with a magenta rim. Varietal berried fruits laden with a spray of exotic spices from afar. Scents of red apple skin (Fuji, Pink Lady ?) and cold cured meats propelled. French oak makes a late appearance … a sesame/tahini guise, not that of cedar. Plush. Plummy, Persuasive. Convincingly Barossa by birthright and Penfolds by style: blueberry/ plummy fruits avec juniper; custom-built, trademark rich mid-palate. Charcuterie, cold (Polish) meat artefact that may well be Shiraz fruit-derived; moreover, peat/coal dust undertones that have, without doubt, been acquired courtesy of the oak and time. Tannins and a buoyant and balanced acidity court a long and persistent finish.

  • テイスティング ; つややかな深い赤色。ディスクはマゼンタ。多様なベリーに重なるようにかすかなエキゾチックなスパイスの香り。フジやピンクレディーといった赤いりんごの皮と突き出るような燻製肉の香り。シダーではなくゴマのようなフレンチオークの香りが遅れてやってくる。ブルーベリー、プラムとジュニパーがマッチし豊かな味わいとなっている。オーク樽での熟成が成すほのかな炭の味わい。タンニンと小気味よいバランスの取れた酸味で味わい深い余韻がつづく。
