John Duval was the Chief Winemaker at Penfolds from 1986 - 2002, entrusted to make some of Australia's most iconic wines. This traditional old vine blend is a superb expression of the Barossa. Savoury, spice and subtle oak sweetness on the nose lead to smooth, seamless palate laden with plum jam and liquorice fruit.

This delightful blend shows a deep and dark red colour. A whiff of the wine reveals expressive dark cherry and blackberry aromas with earthy notes. These wonderful fragrances are followed by deeper coffee, chocolate and oak wood characters. The gentle smooth palate contains ripe red fruit and chocolate. The tannins and acidity perfectly balance each other, and make way for a lengthy dark chocolate finale.
