| Tasted 26/5/03 at the Parkhill Cellars Penfolds Dinner at Matteo's - 7th wine served. Colour - dark purplish red, almost opaque. Nose - waxy, closed. Much swirling of the wine brought up some subtle inky blackberry, chocolate aromas. Palate - concentrated, fleshy, sweet fruit core of blackberries, with dark chocolate, licorice, dried fruits and well integrated oak. Firm, mouthcoating tannins, balanced and a long finish. Too young for my tastebuds, I think I will keep my bottle for at least 10 more years! |
