Awesome round easy blend. Great with salmon and pork. And as most reds are, good with dark choc — 13 years ago
The 1998 is from a great vintage. An iconic Cabernet Shiraz done so well in Australia. This shows minty Cab nuances from Coonawarra plus a choc/leafy nose with nice sweet Shiraz (McLaren Vale?) to round it out. A perfect match with Cape Grim rump. 18.5. — 11 years ago
2006. Powdered cocoa, choc covered cherries, cinnamon nose. This is juicy, so smooth with red fruits (berries and plum jam). Beautiful. — 12 years ago
Elegant. Underbrush, choc covered berries and subdued barrique. Also a good dollop of cow pat... — 13 years ago
Still rich in colour. Very dusty nose. Penfolds nose of choc/malt but becoming more ground coffee. A very good combination of plummy fruit and savoury palate. Penfolds say to 2030! They certainly build them to last! 18+. — 11 years ago
There r good surprises in life. This unknown 14yo Pomerol is 1. Perfectly satisfying dark choc prunes. — 12 years ago
Plum or black berry, dark choc, mild spice on the nose. Good body and tannin structure. Some peppery after taste. (Plum, dark berries, fruitcake and cigar box; fine grained tannins) — 13 years ago
