Deep crimson. Intense, elemental, and luscious with expressive crushed blackberry, cranberry, and elderberry aromas, and underlying dark chocolate notes. Smooth buoyant, blackberry, cranberry, and elderberry flavours with mint, star anise notes, abundant chocolatey fine tannins and mocha, and vanilla oak notes. Finishes long, sweet, and velvety smooth. It is extraordinary in its richness, power, weight, and balance. Possesses all the hallmarks of a great Penfolds vintage. Great cellaring potential. 80% new French oak. It's best to keep it. Drinking Window: 2020 to 2050
