| Parkhill Cellars Penfold Special Bin Dinner at Matteo's (10/8/04) - Straw. Nose: nose tickling, dusty, citrus with whiffs of petrol/kero and toast. On the Palate: Classic Clare Valley characteristics - a fruity core of white peaches, lemon, citrus, bare hints of fresh cut melons surrounding a focused mineral structure and rounded, balanced acidity. Starting to develop the contradictory mix of mature yet youthful characteristics, with the distinctive kerosene signature and honeyed toast of maturity competing with the primary fruit. (Wine #2, Pre-dinner drinks. A nice contrast to previous wine.) |
