Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2018, 750ml

Country: Australia

Grape Varietal: Shiraz

Tasting Note:

Nose: 

Arising unabashed: A floral fragrance. 

Ascending with a swirl: Saturated berried fruits à la glazed and atop Danish pastry avec custard. Revealed upon sitting: French oak proclaimed via citrus/brine, caper/cedar and sandalwood markers. Omnipresent: Cured meats embalmed in balsamic, anchovy paste and flowering thyme. The aromatic stage is set – a distinctive Barossa backdrop with respectful Penfolds lighting.

Palate: 

Dark fruits affording viscosity and concentration. Quince noted … and a little more (fig/cheese + balsamic). Vietnamese mint and anise indulge an admirable palate “cooling effect”/lift. Dusty tannins fused with cocoa chocolate dust.

Structurally confident - a defined backbone, Barossa weight and density.

Food pairing:
Beef & Venison.

Alcohol Content: 14.5%
