G3, Penfolds Mixed Vintage

Tasting Notes

This is a wine that you just want to keep smelling with a kalidescope of aromas. Floral bouquet such as violets and roses with a blackberry and blueberry character underneath. But the fruit is secondary. It's all about the rest of it. Minerals. Slate. Flint. Soya. Full body, extremely fine tannins with great length and depth. The essence of Penfolds. The finesse and texture is surreal. Balanced. It's a magical wine. The perfect drink. And a blend of vintages - 2008, 2012 and 2014.. This has 2% cabernet and the rest shiraz. 1200 bottles made.
