- Tasting Note
Color
Dark, deep crimson red Nose
Formic and familial … barrel ferment, stylish oak, Penfolds.
An oscillation between bursts of sweetened crème brûlée crust and a savoury jus reduction.
Scents of cola nut, star anise and curry leaf add to the complexity of the majestic aromatic offer.
Oak? Deftly dovetailed!
Palate
Full-bodied and generous.
A compote of blood plum, fig and goji berries.
The oscillation noted above now manifested as a sweet buttered/toffeed glaze sitting alongside a roasted reduction avec tomato oil.
Malleable and chunky/grippy tannins.
A detection of malt and the faintest suggestion of polished timber (mahogany) possibly reflective of a 22-month slumber in 100% new oak?
Unashamedly bold.
