| Parkhill Cellars Penfold Special Bin Dinner (10/8/04) - brown/deep mahogany. Nose: pronounced rancio, nutty with whiffs of almonds and flor sherry. On the palate: Less sweet but a touch more viscous than the current release NV version (Wine #16 above), with rounded but still focused concentration of rancio, madeira, almonds, warmed hazelnuts, raisings and dried figs, shot through with flor sherry highlights. Phenomenal length, a great way to finish off a truly taste-bud awakening tasting of session. (Wine #17). |
