Penley Estate 2005 Special Select Shiraz
SAMay08 will sell for
$50 at cellar door when it is released, and is sealed under cork. This is a very
good quality Coonawarra Shiraz. The bouquet shows liqueur blackberry, spice and
liquorice. A respectable balance has been achieved between the fine, silky
tannins, the unobtrusive acid and the pure, deeply-seated fruit. It's a
muscular-weight wine with a solid structure, supple consistency and harmonious
construction. Cassis, blackberry, dark chocolate, mocha, and loads of
spicy/smoky coffee oak flavours finish very long and with incredible
persistence. It's approachable now but needs time to show its best and will be
in its peak drinking window between 2012 and 2019. Rated as Excellent with ***
for value.
