"The beautiful nose is typically seductive: rich, full and confident, without ever being too heavy or blocky - the mark of Penfolds' fastidious Cabernet Sauvignon selection from five separate regions. The palate glides along a silky, gossamer weave of vivid red and purple berries, and this glorious choir of luscious and supple fruits is supported by just a hint of wild herbs, a sprinkle of chocolate powder and tannins that support the impressive palate length. "

"Deep red-purple colour leads into a strongly varietal cabernet nose of sweet berries, cassis and framboise, pristine and fresh, ripe yet aromatic, the palate showing the relative leanness and elegance of cabernet of this style, with fine-grained tannins that are measured and harmonious and not too assertive, helping to extend the very long finish. A svelte and refined cabernet. (McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Coonawarra, Padthaway, Wrattonbully)"
