| Tasted 14/10/02. Another reliable wine, made from shiraz grapes sourced from multiple districts (and not, as the name suggests, solely from Penfold's Kalimna vineyard). Colour: blood red. Nose: plummy, red berries with the slightest hint of roasted meat. Palate: Lovely mouthfeel, it's a bit like biting into a juicy plum, but with the tannins of the plum skin smoothly balanced with by the sweet fruit/berry flavours, laced with a little spice (cloves). Long length, all together a delicious drop to have with a rack of lamb or a medium-rare porterhouse steak. For me, this is the perfect time to drink this wine - don't leave it in the cellar for too much longer... |
