"This was my top wine a fantastic drop. I wasn't surprised to learn that

like a heart-stopping supernova

the bouquet of cedar

complexity and resonance

Hand-plunged

The sheer age of the vines means they have reached the level of maturity required to produce wonderful table wine

"  Cameron Douglas MS

This cuvée’s fresh character is combined with a refined structure and delicate roundness

The cedary oak is subtle considering the wines youth – with a mere whisp of cedar setting off its cool tropical flavours

it's the first wine up the Penfolds hierarchy in need of more time to find it rhythm

exceptionally long on the palate

Ripe and full-bodied Chardonnays (35%) add roundness and opulence while Meuniers (17%) from Leuvrigny and Sainte-Gemme bring tension and length

this is more than ideal for filling the gaps
