Penfolds Cellar Reserve Shiraz
COLOUR:
Dense crimson with garnet hues.
NOSE:
Intense aromatics of spice and pepper. An amalgam of primary fruit aromatics ranging from juicy plum, raspberry coulis and mulberry leaf. Stock reduction- pan juices add an intriguing savoury dimension alongside Kalamata olives and exotic notes of Peking duck, hoisin sauce, star anise.
PALATE:
Pomegranate molasses entices, unfurling across the mid-palate. Mulberry leaf suggestive of cooler fruits. Slatey/granite like tannins create a well-defined and textural palate. Tightly coiled, chalky finish. Pomegranate acidity interplays with structure and texture well, everything in place, complete. Subtle oak character is detected, some spice coming through, although it’s predominantly fruit forward.
