Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz 750ml
Description
Blushing ruby red. Medium purple core. Intense all spice. Perfumed notes of fresh red currants and strawberries. Light charcuterie notes: pastrami and bresaola. Intensely aromatic. Red fruits follow onto the palate. Vanilla crème gateaux. Fine graphite powdery tannins. Panna cotta silkiness on the palate. Red fruited succulence, plush juicy fruit and refreshing acidity giving length to palate. A finish reminiscent of creamy strawberry yogurt.
Tasting Notes:
Color: Medium depth, vibrant crimson
Nose: Raspberries and strawberries initially combine, a generosity of
energetic red fruits. Serving as a great counterpoint to the Cabernet/Shiraz blend which offers dark fruits, Koonunga Hill Shiraz offers fresh cranberry, red currants and a sweetness that is reminiscent of red liquorice and white chocolate. Pink peppercorn spice scattered amongst the fruit and a violet-based floral allure.
Palate: Red plum, exotic aniseed and candied fennel add to the vibrant
fruit mix that the nose suggests…..and unsurprisingly carries through to the palate. A slipperiness in texture, a succulence in acid profile and an
elastic bounce on the palate. Subtle brioche/croissant pastry-like texture we have to assume is evidence of oak-derived maturation. Fine tannins, tamed and seamless.
Alcohol: 14.5%
