Penfolds RWT Shiraz is a big juicy Barossan Shiraz refined by the use of older French oak barrels. 1998 is considered to be one of the classic vintages of the modern age. Drinking wonderfully now but with many years still to come in its development, this is a great addition to any cellar.

This wine opens with a lively burst of blueberry notes, complemented by hints of red currants and red liquorice. A fresh, juicy, and textured palate leads to a velvety finish with delightful chocolate undertones.

Fruit tannin and bold flavours of mulberries and wet slate. A focused core of fine textures and glazed cherries culminates in a mineral and persistent finish.

Begins with a frisson of fine French oak and smoky sandalwood before plunging into a full fruit basket; plums, mulberries, blackberries, and blackcurrants. The palate pulses with fruit filled verve. Rosehip, and cocoa notes. Leather, bay, and thyme.

A rich, classically styled, medium to full-bodied Shiraz with ample richness, a softly textured supple mouthfeel, and lifted flavours of ripe dark plum, liquorice, dark chocolate and toasty vanillin oak gliding across the palate.

Bouquet: Layers of sweet black fruit, some dark spices, subdued flashes of oakPalate: Silky and supple, balanced and moderately weighted with good flesh. Finishing soft, clean and dry. Very good strong persistence of boysenberry and blackcurrant flavours.

Milk chocolate and fresh raspberry, allspice and leather, blue fruits ruminating underneath. A plumose veil of tannin and some cacao bitterness that pulls through the ends.

"The Barossa is known for its diurnal temperatures - warm days and cool nights - which help to ripen grapes during the day, while locking in the flavour throughout the cool nights. It is these cool nights that act like a guard, protecting and locking in the delicious juicy flavour of a Barossa Shiraz that we all know and love. This Shiraz is the perfect example of a rich barossa shiraz providing you with a lifted plum and blackberry aromas and flavours, followed by soft subtle oak and a fine tannin finish."

Controlling a bullock team is akin to crafting a fine wine; both endeavours demand patience, skill and a delicate balance of guidance and restraint. Savour a glass of Merlot, with aromas of Satsuma plums and juicy red fruits with a touch of dark chocolate and oak. A well balanced wine with a supple tannin finish.

This Shiraz is rich & opulent, with sweet red cherry and dark red fruits. The wine is seriously delicious and seriously jam packed with flavours.
