Penfolds
A Proprietary Blend Dry Red Table wine from
South Australia, Australia
Wine Advocate # 167
Oct 2006 Robert Parker 91 Drink 2006 - 2018 $9-$11 (12)
Penfolds has been producing the Shiraz/Cabernet Koonunga Hill for 30 years and it remains an excellent bargain (early releases cost about $1 a bottle). The 2004, an outstanding blend of 62% Shiraz and 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, was aged in old 300 liter hogsheads. Its dense purple color is accompanied by scents of blackberries, truffles, old leather, licorice, and pepper. Heady ripeness, a fleshy mouthfeel, decent acidity, and a long finish suggest it should drink well for 10-12 years.
