Penfolds 2014 release tasting. Dark magenta red, intense nose of chocolate and plum but not hugely complex. Matching palate, surprisingly approachable and balanced now. No doubt it will live long but a great drink now. Wine of the tasting but not a show stopper and no St Henri 2010 to compare to. Not as memorable as the 2006 and 2008 Granges from last year and definitely not worth $785. — 11 years ago
Incredible! Overwhelming favorite for a table of 10 in Nice. Spicy, dark. — 12 years ago
This wine is a very dark almost opaque ruby color with low aroma. The scents I noted were cherry, spices and pepper. It was medium bodied with medium-high acidity and low tannins. This moderately flavored wine has a medium length finish. Flavors of black cherry and tobacco accent this smooth wine. It is not overly complex but very enjoyable. — 7 years ago

100% Syrah, with about 10% new oak. Ripe, evidence of new oak. A polished style. Oaky, quite a Ribera style. Creamy, oaky, vanilla. Uber appealing now, but not a little my haul style — 10 years ago
Blackberry coulis black cherry liqueur max Schubert hired in the 1938's as a winemaker he had to leave to fight ww2 and he was first chef winemaker in 1948 1950 he went to Bordeaux. Black licorice spice he visited chateau d'yquem and hated it but loved the reds extended maceration barrel fermentation in 1951 he creates the first vintage of grange Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz but had no can so cab so the first two grange were all Shiraz they continued to plant more Cabernet and created two granges a de years later one from Shiraz and one from Cabernet. Has lovely complexity on he nose jammy and ripe black berry fruit. Very silky smooth and velvety. Kalimna was a single vineyard owned by penfolds in 1943. D equates this vineyard to vosne romance interesting. 178 acres they produce all ranges of penfolds wines from this vineyard first made this wine in 1958 as a single vineyard wine very big and chewy but it still has elegance like all of penfolds wines red and black fruit. The 1996 is very soft and elegant on the palate very elegant with a bit of materized but still has some fruit — 11 years ago

I missed the pineapple and apricot mentioned in the other reviews, all I got was grapes. Really nicely bottled grapes. There’s a bit of terrior, is that chalky loam I taste? A bit of truffle on the nose, nice primrose overtones and a lovely afternoon day glow to the color palette. Really, just chill this in ice for a hot by the pool or picnic experience, or let it evolve after a hard fridge chill and enjoy it as you cook dinner and have another bottle ready at 52 degrees to enjoy with a pasta du Blanc or Shrimp Alla Buzara. — 7 years ago
