Penley Estate 2006 Condor SAMay08 is a blend of Shiraz and Cabernet; it will retail for approximately $20 when it is released and is sealed under screwcap. The bouquet shows loads of spice and noticeable coffee and vanillin oak influence. An ample-weight, tight and solid wine, the fruit is deeply-seated but it needs time to surface from below the smooth, drying tannins. It's off-sweet with a hint of fruit sweetness below; blue and black fruits, mocha, milk chocolate and dried herbs finish long and fresh. Rated as Recommended with **** for value, it's approachable now but the rating should improve as the wine matures. Drink between now and 2016.
