| MW-Wines Penfolds Master Class with Peter Gago (5/7/05) - Colour: gold/straw. Nose: toasty, whiffs of grilled cashews, peaches, tropical fruits. Palate: white peaches, stonefruits, melons, lime/grapefruit acidity, integrated oak, fairly tight and does not go overboard with the creamy/buttery malolactic characteristics. Long length, but finishes a touch hot. Considered by many to be the first truly successful Yattarna vintage. Drinking beautifully now and should do so for another couple of years, but why wait?
This Master Class is organized by Joseph Micelli and Robert Worthington of MW Wines and held at their superb tasting room at the auction center in Abbotsford. Peter is a wonderful speaker and give us all plenty of his knowledge and insights into wine making, especially of the Yattarna and RWT Shiraz. It was truly a fantastic, educational and hedonistic experience. Thanks again to MW Wines for putting on another great event! |
