" From Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, Padthaway and McLaren Vale and aged in 100% new American oak. Very Penfolds! Launched with the 1964 vintage but not made from 1970 to 1975 (when fruit was directed to other wines) nor in 1981, 1995, 2000, 2003, 2011, 2017 or 2020 (when fruit of the required style and quality was not available). ‘Unashamedly 100% Cabernet, 100% new oak, 100% Penfolds’, they say. Glowing dark purple. Intensely aromatic. Smooth, ripe-tannined cassis liqueur. Limpid. Long. With marked spicy sweetness before those tannins come galloping in. Definitely for the long haul."
