Critic tasting note: ‘First thing you notice is the lovely deep purple color; the nose is ripe and perfumed, followed by classic brambly Cabernet fruit. The finish is midrange, just a bit short of breadth.’ – 86/100, Wine Enthusiast
Critic tasting note: ‘Made for almost 40 years—since 1962—this edition of 389 sports lots of spicy American oak, and displays black fruit and tobacco aromas and flavors. The mouthfeel is big, the texture rich and the full, spicy finish is long and tannic. It’s drinkable now, but really needs a few...
389Critic tasting note: ‘This Australian beauty opens with lean and lovely raspberry aromas which blossom into a fairly rich middle, picking up black-cherry and blackberry fruit along the way. The finish is layered and balanced.’ – 88/100, Wine Enthusiast
Producer tasting notes: ‘COLOUR Deep red with magenta hues. NOSE Expressive varietal lift – predominantly blackcurrant with a hint of tomato leaf. Wild raspberry and blackberry nuances become evident as the wine sits in the glass. A subtle background of spicy, smoky oak. PALATE Generous ripe berry...
Producer tasting notes: ‘COLOUR Medium deep red. NOSE Soft cassis minty, cedar, herb garden aromas with some saddle leather notes. PALATE The wine is ready to drink with soft gentle cassis, coffee, herb flabours and grainy dry tannins. Finishes quite grippy but there’s plenty of length. Probably at...
Producer tasting notes: ‘COLOUR A tremendous depth of dark crimson. NOSE The complex and stylish bouquet shows intense, sweet, dark fruits – stewed plum and cassis with integrated barrel ferment oak characters. Earthy rich nuances and tobacco complexities add further depth to the aromas. PALATE...
Its quality and consistency are formidable, though to deny there are vintage variations would be crazy. If I was a betting man, Id put money on this being a top-notch Grange. Fermented in 100% new American oak as always, this Grange is Shiraz, with around 6% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. It is...
Critic tasting note: ‘Gas up the Porsche and step on the pedal; that’s what this full-force racehorse is like. It’s deep and flowery in the nose, with cocoa, bread dough and peanut. The palate is so racy it’s practically on fire. Tight and smooth, big and bold; this one has a lot going on. For best...
GrangeStill, quite a bit of wood on the nose, as the vanilla, dill and espresso remain front and center before you get to all the layers of black and red fruits. Powerful, full-bodied, long and dense, the wine still needs another decade before it integrates and softens.
St HenriProducer tasting notes: ‘COLOUR Deep purple. NOSE Varietal Shiraz, minus oak! Aromas of stewed raspberries and loganberries, plussavoury, meaty nuances and hints of chocolate, cocoa and black tea in the background. PALATE Mouthfilling and expansive, yet perfectly poised. Generously fruity,...
Bin 28 was named after the Barossa Valley Kalimna vineyard purchased by Penfolds in 1945 and from which the wine was originally sourced. Today, Bin 28 is a multi-region, multi-vineyard blend, and from 2019 onwards, the wine is not labelled ‘Kalimna’. Expert tasting note: (2014 vintage) ‘Deep, dark...
GrangeAn excellent wine, but not an outstanding vintage for Grange, the 1997 seems a trifle loose-knit and less ‘packed’ when compared to great vintages in the past. Black plums and blackberries are laced with dried spices and vanilla. Give it some time to knit together and drink from 2005–2015.
RWT 798Producer tasting notes: ‘COLOUR Deep crimson red. NOSE This is a unique aromatic expression of the Barossa Valley – perfumed fruit with violet-like florals, dried mixed fruit and exotic spices. Berry fruit nuances rise above cedary French oak. PALATE This has the hallmarks of a great...
Critic tasting note: ‘(2003) Sweet, ripe, very ripe and flashy, with mint-humbuggy new American oak and sweet cassis fruit. Californian I think. The palate is balanced and nicely weighted, quite rich and concentrated with loads of depth. Impressive.’ – 93/100, Tom Cannavan
Producer tasting notes: ‘COLOUR Deep garnet. NOSE This brooding giant releases compelling barrelferment richness, enveloped by vibrant cassis fruit. Once allowed to breathe, complex berry and cassis Cabernet aromas emanate with a background of cedary oak and violet nuances. PALATE Full bodied with...
