PENFOLDS BY NIGO LIMITED RELEASE

Penfold RWT Shiraz750mL Bottle, $260.00

Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2016: 8.6It is: glossy, flamboyant, ostentatious. Is not: over-ripe, alcoholic, extracted. Thereby hits the stylistic Barossa/shiraz bulls-eye … with a little help from fastidiously selected French oak. This oak tightens/focuses/encapsulates. Simultaneously structurally tackled by embracing, ripe tannins. This fruit is then surely shrouded, submissive? Never. Archetypal blueberry bavarois and blackberry fruits brazenly strut across the palate. Dense, bountiful, and was there mention of lengthhhhhhhh …?!<br /> <br />Alcohol Volume: 14.50%<br /><br />Pack Format: Bottle<br /><br />Standard Drinks: 8.6<br /><br />Pack Type: Bottle<br /><br />Country of Origin: Australia<br /><br />Region: Barossa Valley<br /><br />Vintage: Vintages Vary<br />

Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz 2022 750mL, $55.00

Pronounced black fruits, layered complexity, dark plum and hints of gamey richness. Baking spices, delicate icing sugar dusting adds nuance without overt sweetness. Lively acidity, fine structural tannins all in balance.<br /> <br />Alcohol Volume: 14.5%<br /><br />Pack Format: Bottle<br /><br />Standard Drinks: 8.6<br /><br />Pack Type: Bottle<br /><br />Country of Origin: Australia<br /><br />Region: McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Wrattonbully<br /><br />Vintage: Contact store to confim vintage availability<br />

Penfolds Grange750mL Bottle, $1,400.00

Nose: An aromatic assault / surge / eruption of soy, hoisin, balsamic reduction… coiled around a core of kirsch and fresh raspberry. This propulsion is crammed with tell-tale barrel ferment, V.A. and formic Grange markers – all in balance, all respectful of fruit and oak. And yet, so ‘classy’ – a brightness, a sheen, a gloss, a raciness – belying both age and upbringing (élevage). Palate: Formidable! No gaps, a densely-packed structural continuum. Not huge, not massive, yet taut, muscular, feisty. A black palimpsest - black fruits, black liquorice, black pudding, black fig, black cardamom.... Granitic chewy tannins linger and coat; oak all but fully concealed, submerged beneath a tannin/oak/acid/flavour tsunami. Fruits? Where to start in this entanglement? Time please.<br /> <br />Alcohol Volume: 14.50%<br /><br />Pack Format: Bottle<br /><br />Standard Drinks: 8.6<br /><br />Pack Type: Bottle<br /><br />Country of Origin: Australia<br /><br />Region: Multi-Regional Blend<br /><br />Vintage: Vintages Vary<br />

Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz 750mL Bottle, $17.00

Penfolds Max's Shiraz Cabernet 750mL Bottle, $26.00

Incredibly smooth in texture with a rich and plush mouthfeel. Very alluring. Blackberry and plum fruits carry forward to the palate.

Flavours of blue and blackberry compote flesh out the mid-palate, while fine tannins and fresh acidity provide balance and poise.<br /> <br />Alcohol Volume: 14.50%<br /><br />Pack Format: Bottle<br /><br />Standard Drinks: 8.6<br /><br />Pack Type: Bottle<br /><br />Country of Origin: Australia<br /><br />Region: South Australia<br /><br />Vintage: Vintages Vary<br />

Penfolds Reserve Bin A Chardonnay750mL Bottle, $150.00

Nose: Archetypical Adelaide Hills – ostensibly white stone fruits peach and nectarine. Sensitive batonnage of yeast lees has coaxed out a complexing nuttiness – assorted cashew, almond and Brazil nut with an ever so slight trace of nutmeg. Latent wafts of sulphide/struck match (almost) bring closure … until a beguiling mortar and pestle, (brine) ground oyster shell scent tip toes across the finish line. Palate: Unravels in the glass to reveal an enthralling and multi-dimensional package – line, depth, weight …! A ‘big’ wine, certainly not shy in character! Big? Voluminous, yet controlled – restraint/precision wrestling with energy/tension. No losers. Hints of citrus and nashi pear with the reported 40% of new oak totally absorbed, barely noticeable. Checked? Yes, 40% new! Impressively well-integrated and complex!<br /> <br />Alcohol Volume: 12.50%<br /><br />Pack Format: Bottle<br /><br />Standard Drinks: 7.4<br /><br />Pack Type: Bottle<br /><br />Country of Origin: Australia<br /><br />Region: Adelaide Hills<br /><br />Vintage: Vintages Vary<br />
