PENFOLDS KOONUNGA SHIRAZ 750ML

Fresh cranberry, red currants and a sweetness that is reminiscent of red licorice and white chocolate. Pink peppercorn spice scattered amongst the fruit and a violet-based floral allure. 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.
